Where 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

Great food for dogs
My dogs love this food, and I like it because it doesn't take up room in my freezer.

Happy dogs and a full freezer, now that is a win win!

Picky eaters
I have 2 dogs, both pitbull terriers, age 7 and 8, i have been struggling to find dog food they would eat, tried everything , my older baby actually started losing weight. Then I started seeing adverts for Happy Howl. After about 2 weeks seeing this I decided to try, big reason was shelf stable,I bought the 36 variety pack, first couple days they inhaled it, I was nervous as they did this with every other food I bought then stopped eating, I am so happy that im going on 3 month now and they eat it immediately. I will say my stress of watching my fur babies not eating is now a thing of the past. They are back at normal weight. They really love the food, dont let me be 1 second late with feeding, they will not allow it
I have never been more thankful to a company in my life, you saved me time , money, i literally threw away more money on other dog food then i spend now,and no more stress, and I have two happy dogs!
Delivery is fast , if I run low, I can order extra to get me to my monthly auto shipment and know they wont miss a meal. The packaging is great, its convenient, easy to open , and easy to store.
I recommend this to all pet owners

Yams seems to be enjoying his Happy Howl…
Yams seems to be enjoying his Happy Howl where not sure how long he will be eating it as he’s a picky one. He gets tired of the same old same old. This has been nice having three different flavors.
Response from Happy HowlMay 22, 2026
We completely understand the struggle of keeping a picky eater consistently excited at mealtime and we are so glad that having three different flavors has been helping keep things fresh and interesting for him! Variety truly is the spice of life especially for our more discerning pups!

She loved it!
She loved it!! Was eager to receive her bowl. She had no adverse reactions. The lamb was a definite favorite from the start.
