Nutritional Concept
Our nutritional concept
The Happy Dog Natural Life Concept® provides only the best for your four-legged friend
The nutritional concept recipe for the success of our premium dog food is based on three pillars:
Our natural ingredients
is the basis for our balanced and species-appropriate recipes
Perfect recipes
optimally meet your dog’s needs and requirements
Gentle processing
without the addition of any artificial preservatives and controlled by an independent body
We have been manufacturing our Happy Dog products in Wehringen, Bavaria according to this philosophy for over 50 years. But what exactly is in our products?
Just the right portion of meat
Premium quality meat and valuable animal proteins are the most
important component of our pet food because of their vital amino
acids. In Happy Dog dry food, the proportion of animal protein is
included in the total protein
up to 90%
We use nature as our guide
The Happy Dog Natural Concept offers your dog a nutritionally balanced combination of all vital substances with natural ingredients. In this way, metabolism and the entire body are optimally supported in a species-appropriate way – nutritionally proven according to nature’s example.
Additionally to the main ingredient meat and different carbohydrate sources from regional cultivation depending on variety, Happy Dog dry food contains natural components such as herbs, linseed or seaweed. In order to optimally support metabolism in a species-appropriate way, natural products with health-promoting properties are irreplaceable. This provides your dog with everything that benefits their body holistically – from a strong immune system to a healthy coat!
Of course, we select healthy ingredients from nature for our premium dog food specifically according to whether they have positive effects on the health of your furry friend and combine them to create an optimal nutrient mix. Therefore, you can be sure that your dog is neither over- nor under-supplied and that no deficiency symptoms will occur. Nutritional Concept

Vitamins, minerals and trace elements as well as fat, protein, crude fibre and carbohydrates are vital for our pets. Our balanced and varied pet food ensures an adequate supply of these substances and is supplemented with a variety of healthy ingredients from nature. We take nature as our guide and refine our dog food recipes with healthy herbs from the region. With every Happy Dog food, you will find
precise composition information on the packaging or on our website, which tells you which ingredients are contained in the respective food. You can choose the food according to which health aspect you wish to support.

This can have a positive effect on the skin and coat as well as having an antioxidant effect.
