Our food
Where are Happy Dog and Happy Cat made?
In Wehringen, Bavaria, Germany. The family business has been producing food since 1765, and Happy Dog and Happy Cat have been made there for over 50 years. Up to 80% of the ingredients come from the region around Augsburg.
Do they contain artificial colours, flavours or preservatives?
No. As a matter of principle, Happy Dog and Happy Cat contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and the recipes are GMO-free.
How much meat is in the food?
Meat and fish are the main ingredients. In Happy Dog dry food, up to 90% of the total protein is animal protein. Depending on the recipe, Happy Cat food contains up to 88% animal protein.
What is the Natural Life Concept?
It's the nutrition concept behind every recipe: high-quality animal protein as the main ingredient, combined with selected herbs, valuable oils, easily digestible carbohydrates and fibre, to give a balanced, species-appropriate diet.
What is the Happy Cat All in One Concept?
A special active ingredient formula that covers five key needs in one food: regulated digestion, a strong immune system, urinary tract support, heart health (with taurine) and healthy skin and coat. No supplements needed.
How is the dry food made?
Using the Thermostufenmix® process. The mix is gently pre-treated with steam for about an hour, shaped into kibble at a minimum of 90°C, then dried for 22 minutes at 125°C to a maximum moisture of 12%. The kibble then passes metal detection and laboratory checks before packing.
Which food is right for my pet?
It depends on your pet's age, size, activity and any sensitivities. Message us on WhatsApp with a few details and we'll recommend the best match.
How much should I feed?
Follow the feeding guide on the pack, based on your pet's weight. If your pet is very active, overweight or has special needs, message us and we'll help you adjust.
