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

Just received the variety pack. So far, my dog is not liking the Beef Stew. I'll next try the lamb.
Response from Happy HowlAug 31, 2026
Sometimes our pups have a very clear favorite! 😂🐾 Hopefully the lamb gets a better review from your little food critic. If your pup is used to kibble or frozen food, the softer, stew-like texture of Happy Howl can take a little getting used to. You can also try gently warming the food for about 10 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl to bring out the aroma. And if you’d like a few more picky-eater tips, feel free to reach out to us anytime—we’re happy to help! 💚 Warm Wags, The Happy Howl Team

My dog does not like the food and won't eat it.
Response from Happy HowlAug 26, 2026
Thank you for your review! We are so sorry your dog isn't loving the food just yet. To help tempt a picky eater, try warming the meal in the microwave for a few seconds to boost the scent, or mix a small spoonful into their current favorite food to ease the transition. We truly appreciate you giving Happy Howl a try!

My dog won’t eat it. At first I thought he might not be hungry. The second time I tried serving him the beef stew I know he was ravenous. He still wouldn’t eat it. I left it out for about 30 minutes hoping he would change his mind. He continued to refuse it. Such a disappointment as the packaging is so convenient and the ingredients look fine.

Thank you for your review. We are so sorry your dog refused to dig into the Beef Stew! While our recipes are built for hassle-free storage and made with natural, high-quality ingredients, we know every dog's palate is different. To help encourage a fussy eater, try warming the food slightly to boost its aroma, or gently mix a spoonful of Happy Howl into his familiar food to ease the transition. Thank you again for giving us a try!

My Yorkies Bowles Are Very Lose Can't Deal With This, I'll Need To CANCE MY FUTURE ORDERS IMMEDIATELY
Response from Happy HowlAug 25, 2026
We are so sorry to hear that your Yorkies are experiencing loose stools—we completely understand how frustrating and messy that can be! When transitioning to a rich, human-grade food like Happy Howl, a dog’s digestive system can take some time to adjust. We recommend slowing down the transition by mixing a small amount of Happy Howl with their previous food, or adding a spoonful of pure pumpkin puree to help firm up their stool. We do see that you have an active subscription scheduled to process on September 9th. If you would still like to pause or cancel that order, please email us at [email protected] and our team will gladly assist you right away!

Smells gross to me and my dog refuses to eat it. I’ve got 5 boxes wasted.

Placed my order on 0/11/2026 and I still haven't received it. Order No. 205454.
Response from Happy HowlAug 18, 2026
Hi there, Thank you for reaching out. I completely understand checking in, especially since you placed your order on 08/11 and it still hasn’t arrived. Our standard delivery time is typically 2–5 days, so this is definitely taking longer than we would normally expect. I’ve reached out to our Fulfillment team to get an update on order #205454 and find out exactly where things stand. I’m keeping an eye on this from my end as well, and as soon as I hear back from Fulfillment, I’ll get right back to you with an update and the next steps. Thank you for your patience while I track this down. I’ll make sure we stay on top of it for you. 🐾 Warm Wags, Rachel The Happy Howl Team

I give the food a 8, my dog has not had issues on the food. The reason I did a poor rating 2 is because the customer service is poor. They won't offer discounts to current monthly subscribers and the food is ridiculous expensive after the first 3 orders. When I called Kyle could careless that my dog has allergies, sensitive stomach and its not easy for me to switch his food.. He simply asked if he could cancel my future orders while we were on the call. People who have pets know you can't just cancel and start a new food the next day. Slow proper switching. $183 for 30 days of dog food is crazy when they charged $93 for the first 3 months, there's no reason they can't offer that price, they are not gonna loose money. UPDATE THEY SAY THE HAVE 20% OFF THATS A LIE..I HAVE PICTURES MY SUBSCRIPTION BUT IT WON'T LET ME UPLOAD IT

We’re glad to hear your pup has had no issues with Happy Howl, and we completely understand your frustration around the cost and the importance of a slow transition, especially for a dog with allergies and a sensitive stomach. 💛🐾 We do want to clarify that Happy Howl subscriptions receive 20% off on recurring subscription purchases, so the subscription savings continue beyond the first few orders. We’re also sorry to hear that your conversation with our customer service team left you feeling unheard. Your pup’s needs and the time required to transition foods are important, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can continue improving the experience. The Happy Howl Team 🐾
