Our Story
Happy Hound was born from my dog Deputy's journey — from chronic pancreatitis and fatty tumors to a vibrant, healthy life fueled by real food. After 10 years in supplement chemistry and owning an FDA-certified drug facility, we realized dog food was broken — full of fillers, synthetics, and nonsense. So we built a better way. A better bowl. One that brings dogs back to nature — to the trails, the fields, and the wild health they deserve. And we believe dogs and public lands belong together, so every sale supports conservation projects across the country. This isn't just dog food. It's fuel for adventure. For health. For life.

Our Mission
At Happy Hound, our mission is simple: give dogs a longer, healthier life through real food and real adventure. We believe nutrition is the foundation of wellness — not synthetic powders, preservatives, or fillers. We’re not just making dog food, we’re fueling wild lives and supporting the public lands where dogs belong.
