We were using the express mix but he has been having skin issues so we are trying the grain free because it has minimal ingredients and no oats. So far so good 😊

Sophie is a wild child! She is 2 1/2 year old Springer Spaniel that will impatiently wait for Happy Dog breakfast and dinner.

Bentley was having issues with digestion. Soft or runny stools. After adding happy dog grain free with his meat he no longer has any issues. He loves the taste and licks his bowl clean. We have noticed a shine to his coat and he has more energy. We believe this is due to the Happy Dog allowing more complete digestion of his food, giving him the nutrients he needs.

I have three Miniature Pinschers and all are doing great. Dexter is 18 years old and although he is slightly deaf, he manages to hang on. I must say with this product everyone's appetite remains constant. My female dog, Pretzel is the #1 Miniature Pinscher in AKC Competition Obedience in the United States. My third dog, Gunner was also a rescue and a hot mess when I got him. With loving care and your food, he is his exceeding my expectations.

I took Waylon and to get blood work done and he had high liver enzymes. I did some research and a lot of the time it’s caused from kibble. I switched over to happy dog food and things have never been better. He has more energy, he’s lost weight, and he loves to eat the food! Thank you!!

So easy and healthy. If you want your dogs to live a long life, start putting in a little extra work. It is absolutely worth every minute and ends up costing less than dry dog food.

Tucker is a picky eater, it’s the part husky in him! Got my order and made a batch right away! I replaced half the water with 1/2 water and 1/2 beef stock and added in a pound and a half of cooked ground beef, this stuff smells amazing, I was wondering so I even took a bite of it without the supplement of course and I would eat this as a meal! Dinner time came and Tucker was super excited he licked the bowl clean! It’s great having a dog food where you know exactly what’s in it! Plus something that tastes amazing. There were some shipping delays due to USPS being backed up due to weather, and the team at Happy Dog took care of it right away even though the fault was on the shipping company, so excited to continue using this food for our little picky guy and supporting a family operated business, thank you for all you do to keep our pets happy and healthy!!! Would give 10 stars hands down and would highly recommend!!! So much cheaper and way better quality over any other fresh food company!!

Molly loves her food- especially Happy Dog Food-she is a Happy Fog. When we rescued Goldy now Molly- from Big Dog Rescue they fed all their pets Happy Dog Food. They started me off with a bag of- she has been on it ever since. Molly is almost 15 , which is a good age for a big dog. Our vet says she is not going anywhere as she knows where her “ bread is buttered “. Everyone comments on her beautiful fur coat, so soft & shiny & her big bright brown eyes.

My 2 yr old pup Ruby has food allergies and needs a sensitive skin and sensitive stomach diet. Her vet recommended Happy Dog Food and we have been using it for 6 months. The high quality of real food with aminos and the convenience of Happy Dog has been a huge factor for providing Ruby relief with minimal food prep. We use it both as a topper to kibble or add cooked white fish for protein. The best part is she LOVES Happy Dog and is thriving! I highly recommend this amazing product!

We used to use The Honest Kitchen when we lived in San Diego, but we're thrilled to find Happy Dog Food where we could support local families. Our Akita has special diet needs and is a selective eater. He loves it! We miss with local Small Batch cow and sheep. Thanks for feeding our furry friends!

Helen is an eight year-old cattle dog. She had one eye removed due to glaucoma and can barely see out of the other eye. I adopted her five months ago. She was about 10 pounds overweight. I started her on happy dog food right away. She has lost the extra weight and is thriving.

We recently dog sat my nephew's 15 year old Chihuahua. She was used to eating only kibble. We gave her a blend of her kibble and Happy Dog Vitality Grain. Shoes picked all the vitality grain food and left the kibble behind. She was so happy!!
