Happy HowlWhere it started:Rocky changedeverything andI never set out to start a dog food company.My husky Rocky had the worst stomach on the planet. Years of vet visits, prescription diets, and hundreds spent on premium food brands. We tried everything. Nothing worked.So I decided to build it myself. 36 recipe iterations. Countless hours with vets and nutritionists. All chasing one question: what’s the best food we could possibly make for a dog? When we finally got it right, Rocky was the proof.He hasn't been sick in over 18 months. He runs three miles with me every morning. That's the standard every Happy Howl bowl is held to. Nothing less.Colin Buckley– Founder

My daughter started the same time I did. Her dog liked everything but the beef stew. Her dog is much larger then. She does not have to portion one box.

Thank you for sharing! We're glad her pup is enjoying Lamb and Turkey, and you can't beat the convenience of feeding a full carton at a time for a larger dog. We appreciate your family's support!

He doesn't like it and won't eat it I want a full refund
Response from Happy HowlJun 15, 2026
We are sorry to hear that your pup turned his nose up at the food! Because our sample packs are designed as a small trial to test out your dog's preferences, they are non-refundable. We completely understand how frustrating it is when a picky eater doesn't approve. We suggest passing the rest of the pack along to a local animal shelter or a friend’s dog who might enjoy it. Thank you for giving Happy Howl a shot!

My pups just do not like your food... I was a bit sad... but, it is what it is. Please do not send anymore my way.
Response from Happy HowlJun 15, 2026
We're sorry to hear the food wasn't a hit! We know how picky our furry friends can be, and we appreciate you letting us know. As you requested, we have ensured that no more deliveries will be sent to your home. Thank you again for trying us out, and we hope your pups find something they absolutely love soon!

Made my dog super gassy and then they auto shipped me $400 in dog food two weeks after my 1st order. The rep I talked to you on the phone was not helpful at all. He said I could not return the dog food because they could not guarantee the quality of the food. Was supposed to text me back about a discount on what I paid and I never heard anything back.
Response from Happy HowlJun 14, 2026
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to hear that the food caused gas for your dog and that our phone communication did not meet expectations. We sent out an automated reminder notice two days prior to processing to help manage shipment dates, but we understand this timeline did not align with your needs. For safety and quality control reasons, we cannot accept returns or offer refunds on fulfilled shipments. We appreciate your feedback regarding the missing text update, as it helps us review our customer care processes.

This Company can improve by spending up delivery service.. everything I ordered I have to water 5 or more days before I receive my order...
Response from Happy HowlJun 14, 2026
Thank you for the helpful feedback! We hear you loud and clear regarding delivery speeds, and we are working hard behind the scenes to make our shipping process faster and more efficient. Our goal is to get our meals from our kitchen to your door as quickly as possible, and your input helps us know exactly where to focus our improvements. We’re so grateful to have you in the pack and appreciate your patience!

My dog ate it the first time I gave it to her, but turned her nose after that. That happened with all three flavors. I was really hoping for her to like it.
Response from Happy HowlJun 14, 2026
We were really hoping she would love it too! It’s always tough when a pup changes her mind after a great first meal. Every dog has their own unique preferences, and sometimes a new food just takes a bit of adjusting. We truly appreciate you trying the Sample Pack!

My food has not arrived as of yet

Awful experience, don’t buy it unless you want it for life. My dog will eat it but not everyday, they only ship the same flavor even though I have tried to change it. I can’t get the subscription to turn off. I have tried to login and the website is a mess and I can’t login. I’m going to have to cancel it through my credit card. I just received another box and I’m going crazy, I have at least 100 boxes of food and my dog will only eat it a couple of times a week. It’s a huge pain to store. Don’t buy!!
Response from Happy HowlJun 12, 2026
I am so incredibly sorry for the frustration and stress this has caused you. We definitely don’t want you feeling overwhelmed by your inventory! I actually tried reaching out to you via phone earlier today to help resolve the login and subscription issues personally. Please give us a call at 1-888-436-7490 as soon as you can so I can manually stop these shipments, fix your account, and help with a resolution.
