The roots of the Bavarian family-owned company Interquell go back to 1765. Back in the 18th century it all began with a flour mill on the Singold in Wehringen. Then, in the 1950s, a groundbreaking innovation: with the help of a new type of technology and suitable machines, cereal flakes could be produced, which, together with dried meat, resulted in the first complete dry food for dogs. Our recipes, ingredients and additives have been refined over the years based on the latest scientific findings. But that is not all: the coveted Happy Dog & Happy Cat products have made their way from Wehringen out into the wide world. Happy Dog & Happy Cat is now in demand by dog owners, not only in Germany, but also in Europe, most of Eastern Europe and in individual countries in Asia, Africa and South America. Of course, we continue to produce our dry food in our traditional family business in Wehringen, Bavaria.
