Happy Tails uses only 100% human-grade ingredients you can actually see and identify in our food. Unlike most commercial options, we use no preservatives, artificial dyes, or thickeners. Our recipes are grain-free and made in small batches to ensure freshness and quality. Our company was born from personal experience after seeing remarkable health improvements in our own dogs when switching to fresh food.

Feeding amounts depend on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and metabolism. Our packaging includes general feeding guidelines based on weight. Most adult dogs do well with two meals per day. Keep in mind that individual dogs may need more or fewer calories than the standard recommendation—active dogs, working breeds, or dogs with higher metabolisms may need up to 25% more food, while less active or senior dogs might need 10-15% less. Monitor your dog's weight and body condition, and adjust portions accordingly to maintain ideal weight. For more detailed information about maintaining a healthy weight and our complete feeding guidelines, visit our Getting Started page.

We recommend a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Start by mixing 25% Happy Tails with 75% of your dog's current food for 2-3 days, then move to 50/50 for the next 2-3 days, followed by 75% Happy Tails and 25% current food for 2-3 days, before switching completely to Happy Tails. This gradual approach helps avoid digestive upset during the transition.

Our nutrient-rich recipes are formulated specifically for adult dogs, providing them with complete and balanced nutrition. For puppies, we recommend using Happy Tails as a nutritious topper while feeding a puppy-specific base diet that supports their unique developmental needs. Senior dogs often thrive on our fresh food thanks to its soft texture and high-quality ingredients, which can be easier to chew and digest for aging pets.

Research shows that dogs fed fresh food live an average of 2.5 years longer than those on commercial canned food. Most customers report noticeable improvements within days or weeks, including increased energy, shinier coats, better digestion (smaller, less smelly poops), reduced itching, and more enthusiasm at mealtime. While individual results may vary, the high-quality nutrition in fresh food supports overall health and wellbeing.

Yes! We understand that many dogs have unique dietary needs. All our recipes are grain-free, and we offer a variety of protein options including our Pulled Pork Picnic, Chuck Wagon Beef Stew, Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, and Gobble-icious Turkey Supper. This range allows you to avoid specific proteins your dog may be sensitive to. Each recipe clearly lists all ingredients, making it easy to identify suitable options for your dog. If you're unsure which recipe would work best for your dog's specific needs, please contact us—we're happy to help you find the perfect match.
