What other dog owners say

Àllie's dog Martha, five months apart
5 out of 5 stars

“It gave me back my dog”

My dog suffered from severe skin allergies since she was 18 months old. She’s 7 now and has spent most of her life unbearably itchy. At times I wondered if it was cruel to keep her while she was suffering so badly. I started Happy Dog Africa at the end of January after being offered a free trial. I figured it was worth a shot as by this point I’d already tried raw, hypoallergenic and almost every potion known to man! Just over 5 months later and I’m not sure I have the same dog! Progress wasn’t instant, but gradually and positively she began to change. Her hair grew back, her sparkle came back and about a month ago she started bringing me her ball to play. She’d stopped instigating play a couple of years ago as invariably it would cause an itch fit. Anyway, here’s Martha Moo 5 months apart. I 100% recommend you try Happy Dog! It gave me back my dog.

90% clearer skin since switching

She has had a 90% clear skin since I have been feeding happy dog. Kangaroo and wild game. Would definitely recommend to others with problem skin and hot spots.

The best we’ve tried for her sensitive belly

Dexy has had problems with a sensitive belly for over a year. The vet recommended a new protein. Happy Dog Ostrich dry has been the best we have tried and her poos have been so much better. She also loves the little treats.

Sara's dog Moses
5 out of 5 stars

A huge turnaround – happier and healthier

I can only say positive things about Happy Dog. Moses has suffered from food allergies amongst other things for most of his four and a half years. Last October things took a turn for the worst and we couldn’t keep any food inside the poor boy, it was terribly worrying. In December our wonderful vet recommended we try kangaroo meat…it was a huge hit with Mo, and again on the vet’s recommendation we began to introduce Happy Dog Africa (ostrich) into his diet. Overall he seems happier and healthier on this diet, and although there is the odd hiccup with stool consistency, there has been a HUGE improvement in this area. At one point before starting this diet I feared we would lose him, but there’s been a huge turnaround!! Not only that, the service they provide is exceptional. A big thank you to all at Happy Dog!

A brilliant alternative to raw

I decided to put Rocco on Kangaroo as a change from raw and as he has a sensitive stomach. It is an excellent alternative to raw!

Like a new dog: itch-free and full of energy

It took me a year to find food that suited my dog. After learning about novel proteins, she’s like a new dog – happy, itch-free, with healthy skin and loads of energy. Switching to Happy Dog was the best decision I’ve made.

For fussy and sensitive dogs

Stop wasting money on dog food.

Bought a food your dog wouldn't eat? Then another that didn't agree with them? Try Happy Dog first. The food is free, you just cover the £4.99 postage.

Does this sound like your cupboard?

If you are nodding at two or more, the trial was made for you.

A protein your dog has never eaten

Start with Kangaroo

Kangaroo is the protein almost no UK dog has been exposed to before, which is exactly what you want when the usual proteins keep letting you down. The tin has only one ingredient: kangaroo.

Kangaroo meat and kangaroo by-products, minerals. Nothing else.
No chicken, beef, lamb, wheat or soya
Prefer dry? Africa is ostrich, one novel protein, nine ingredients
Wet trial pack
2 x 400g tins
Kangaroo Pure, free. £4.99 postage.

Prefer another protein? The trial pack also comes in Ostrich, Goat or Horse wet food, and Ostrich or Horse dry. Every one is a single animal most dogs have never eaten.

No catch

Why the trial is the cheaper way to find out

Finding a food your dog will actually eat should not cost a full bag every time you guess wrong.

1

You stop paying to guess

Every full bag bought on a hunch is a bet. If your dog turns their nose up, it ends up at the back of the cupboard.

With the trial: two tins or a small bag, free. You only pay the £4.99 postage.
2

There is nothing to cancel

Plenty of free trials quietly turn into a subscription you have to remember to stop.

With the trial: no subscription. One trial pack, one payment, done.
3

If they won't eat it, you get your money back

Fussy dogs are fussy. Sometimes even the right food gets a no.

With the trial: a 30-day taste guarantee. Tell us and we refund you.
4

It is genuinely different

If your dog has already worked through chicken, beef and lamb, another bag of the same proteins is unlikely to change much.

With the trial: Pure Kangaroo, a single protein most dogs have never eaten.
5

You can stop thinking about dog food every week

The point is to find the food that sticks, then stop starting again.

With the trial: if they love it, you know exactly what to order next.
What the £4.99 is

The food is free. The £4.99 is the postage.

You get two 400g tins of wet food, or an 800g to 1kg bag of dry, at no charge. The £4.99 covers next day tracked delivery to your door.

No subscription and nothing to cancel. If your dog won't eat it, you get your money back.

After trying for 6 years to find a dog food

"After trying for 6 years to find a dog food that works for my dog with severe allergies I cannot praise this company enough! We have been using a mix of wet and dry food for 3 months and in that time have not had one single tummy upset."

Our dog had quite severe skin allergies

"Our dog had quite severe skin allergies round her eyes and our vet recommended we try a new protein for her, kangaroo. Since moving her on to Happy Dog she is indeed a happy allergy free dog!"

This dog food has changed my life

"He is allergic to chicken and turkey so finding single protein dog food such as kangaroo and ostrich has been a game changer. So far we have had no flare ups. I can't rate this food highly enough."
