Hello and welcome!
Hey Happy Dog is a family business and we try hard to deliver the best customer & dog experience on the planet. We operate from Samford Valley, Queensland Australia, and HHD is currently managed by Joan and Lee Walker, with family members doing stints as their lives allow.
We know we can't compete with the love dogs give to us (that's not possible), but we're doing our best to deserve it. This means speaking out against toxic foods that slowly poison them—and doing our utmost to bring about change via fresh natural food that deeply nourishes and heals their bodies.
We are in awe of organisations that care and fight for dogs that are helpless and in need, and it is a goal to increase our support for them
In terms of environmental impact, the clean unprocessed ingredients in our products place us ahead of other dog foods right away, but production and packaging are an ongoing challenge that we take very seriously. We're a work in progress and striving to improve.
As for ourselves, we're just chuffed to be able to do our bit for pup and planet, one happy meal at a time. We think it's pinch-me fabulous to be in a business that can make the world a better place.
Thanks for being here 🫶, we ❤️ your dog.
It all started with Dolly
Every business has a reason for being, and for us it was our Labrador Dolly. She's our poster girl and was our four legged co-founder.
When Dolly arrived, she was the sweetest most beautiful pup in the world. But, by the time she was just 18 months old, she wept every night with pain and was close to paralysed with arthritis (you could see and feel the large lumps inside her back legs). She was given just months to live and our hearts were breaking.
Long story short, it turned out that commercial food was poisoning her from the inside out—and after only a few weeks of changing her diet to the forerunner of Hey Happy Dog, she was back on her feet, fishtailing with joy!
The rest of her beautiful healthy life was lived that way, and we're forever, forever thankful for the healing power of real food. Dolly lived for 14 years.
