Happy Dog dog food review
Happy Dog is a big catalogue: 83 products, 65 dry and 18 wet. Thirteen of them are veterinary diets, which carry no score with us. The rest average out in our Good band, though 36 of the scored products read Average. The wet Sensible Pure line is the strongest part of the list, and the large dry ranges are where the softer reads sit.

- If you are feeding a senior, check the life stages, as three labels are marked senior
Score overview
The Good band average covers a wide spread. Sensible Pure carries the top end on the wet side, four Outstanding and six Excellent, with nutritional balance Outstanding there. The large dry lines pull the other way: Sensible reads Average on 11 of its 12 products, Sensible Mini is Average on all eight and NaturCroq on nine of ten. Transparency is Good on 28 products.
The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
