The most obvious difference between Happy Dog Food and commercial canned or kibble dog foods, is the ingredients used to make our foods. The gentle process of dehydration leaves the vibrant colors of the vegetables intact. Studies have shown the importance of the vibrant pigments that exist in fresh vegetables. These substances are rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, which are highly beneficial for the overall health and well-being of your canine companion. The enzymes are much higher in dehydrated foods than in conventional commercial kibbles.Our whole grains, pearl barley, brown rice, flake barley and steel cut oats are the same whole grains you would eat yourself. Our vegetables are dehydrated, moisture is removed gently, this slow process is much gentler that cooking, canning or extruding and protects the nutrition that mother nature naturally provides in each vegetable. The finished product, blended together gently in our warehouse and packed fresh daily is a nutrient-rich blend whole food that smells delicious, taste great, and wholesome & healthy for your canine companion.
