LOOKING BACK ON 2024 – A YEAR MADE SPECIAL BY YOU

As 2024 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect - and to paws - on what an incredible year it’s been. Thanks to you, our amazing pack members, we’ve celebrated milestones, shared countless wagging tails, and strengthened our mission to bring health and happiness to every Happy Hound. 💛

This year, we’ve grown together, faced challenges, and made the tough decision to pause services in Gauteng, knowing that sometimes, change is part of the journey. Through it all, your trust, love, and dedication to your pups’ well-being have inspired everything we do. 🐶🤗

2024 HIGHLIGHTS - BECAUSE OF YOU

This year, we reached new heights together:

- Served 1,032,729 meals: As of November 2024, we've delivered 1,032,729 meals (calculated based on a 12kg dog), totalling over 154 tonnes of nourishment to our delighted Happy Hounds customers since our launch in June 2020.

- À La Bark Menu: We teamed up with Simon's Restaurant to launch a doggy menu! Bringing the whole family together.

- Dog-livery Vans Hit the Road: Our branded vans rolled out, ensuring your hounds’ favourite meals arrived with care and promptness, and with an extra dose of Happy Hounds love.

- New Protein Launches: We said farewell to Lamb & Venison and Hello to Ostrich. Pups are LOVING our ostrich recipe, and we also introduced our revamped insect protein recipe.
- New Treats Galore: Too many to count - but can you ever have too many options? We think not! From chicken tenders to beef sinew chews, we’ve loved seeing your hounds enjoy all the treato options.

- More Stockists, More Happy Hounds: We partnered with incredible new stockists, helping us bring fresh meals to even more wagging tails.

- Rabies Vaccination Drive: Collaborating with Tamboerskloof Family Vets, we worked to protect hounds in our community.

- Happy Hounds Turned 4: We celebrated our fourth birthday in June - a milestone made possible by your continued love and support.

- So Many Blog Posts: From health tips to behind-the-scenes stories, we expanded our blog to bring you more ways to keep your pups happy and thriving.

- Growing Together: Our pack of hoomans grew this year, bringing new passion and dedication to everything we do. We're so lucky to have the best team supporting your companions.

🌟 WHAT'S NEXT FOR 2025?
We’re just getting started! In the coming year, you can look forward to:
Even more fresh recipes and delicious treats
Strengthening our partnerships to benefit hounds and humans alike
Expanding our sustainability efforts, ensuring every step we take is one that helps the planet
🧡 FROM OUR PACK TO YOURS

None of this would have been possible without you. Your belief in our mission - creating fresh, nutritious meals for happy, healthy hounds - keeps us motivated every day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey - and for making Happy Hounds more than just fresh dog food. Together, we’re building a community where every pup can thrive. 💛

Here’s to another year of wagging tails, full bowls, and joyful adventures with your loyal companions!

With endless gratitude,
The Happy Hounds Team 🐾
(Jessie, Squirrel, Bindy, Quitie – and all the hoomans who love your pups like you do!)

From quirky toys and stylish bowls to rugged adventure gear, these gifts combine top-notch quality with a whole lot of love.

Santa is gonna be coming early to Happy Hounds this year… there are so many good dogs he’s going to get a head start on his gifting! 🎅🏼

We’re thrilled to announce that our brand-new Ostrich meals are now available! After lots of tail-wagging anticipation, the wait is over, and we can’t wait for your hound(s) to dig into this delicious new protein.

Why Ostrich?
Ostrich is lean, packed with protein, and great for pups with allergies or sensitive tummies. This new protein will bring even more variety to your dog’s meals and is perfect for pups needing a leaner meal. Plus, Ostrich will be available year-round - no more seasonal waits!

We can’t wait to hear what your hound(s) think!

07/11/2024

As you may know, we’ve been making some exciting changes to our menu to bring more variety and consistency to your pup's meals. While we’re thrilled to introduce the lean, allergy-friendly Ostrich protein, it also means that we’ll be gradually saying goodbye to our Lamb & Venison protein by the end of November.

To thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown for this recipe, we’re offering a rare 20% discount on all remaining Lamb & Venison products, while stocks last. With our 250g tubs and 1kg vac bags already sold out, now’s the time to stock up on the remaining sizes and let your pup enjoy a few last meals of one of their favourite proteins. 💚

We know it’s hard to say farewell to a beloved recipe, but we’re confident that our new Ostrich protein will be a hit with your hound - bringing the same high quality and exciting variety, with the bonus of being available year-round.

Keep an eye out for the official Ostrich launch, happening very soon! We can’t wait for your pup(s) to try this new addition. 😀

06/11/2024

We've teamed up with Simons Groot Constantia to bring you an exclusive À LA BARK menu so our besties can savour something as special as they are! 🧡

Happy Hounds

My life is made more delightful with my pack of rescue dogs. But it really started to bother me that I had to add things to their pellets, like gravy, olive oil etc to encourage them to eat. I then started to think about how I like to live my life, to tread gently in the world, eating organic food, no plastic and when eating meat to eat ethically farmed meat that is pasture fed. This got me thinking, the mass production of pellets, is this not adding to the mass farming of animals and mono farming with pesticides? Why would I do this to the planet and feed my dogs food that is potentially filled with hormones, antibiotics and pesticides!

So, Happy Hounds was born. I source ethically farmed pasture fed meat, organic veg from micro farmers in Cape Town and armed with loads of research, I started to make my own dog food for my pack. It is filled with protein, fibre, minerals, vitamins and Omegas, no grain, no bulking, no additives. My life changed as I watched my dogs literally pirouette out of the door at meal times to their bowls. They are shinier, sparkly eyes and literally happier! They are more playful and fun to be with. I started to share with a few friends and bingo, I started taking orders. Happy Hounds, Happy Planet!

So, it is cooked food, filled with love. For now it comes in 500g, 1kg to come soon. It is R40 for a 500g tub if a week’s supply is ordered. Within the City Bowl it is free delivery, otherwise it is R25 delivery. The flavours depend on the meat that is available, I am not buying just any meat, but what is available at the farms.

For orders, Whatsapp me on 082 809 6663 and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @HappyHoundsZA to join the Happy Hounds family!
