Baby Starter - Lamb and Rice

To get used to solid food during rearing

An optimally composed puppy diet is the best basis for healthy development. Especially in the weaning phase and getting used to solid food, it is important to ensure that the food is extremely well tolerated. Happy Dog Puppy Starter therefore contains very well-tolerated lamb and highly digestible rice in a recipe with 30% protein and 16% fat that is optimally tailored to the needs of puppies. Based on the Happy Dog Natural Life Concept ®, the puppies are provided with everything from which their organism benefits holistically and they can start a long and healthy dog's life carefree.

The fine granulate structure is ideal for getting used to solid food for the first time and for problem-free and gentle feeding during the weaning phase of the puppies from the 21st day of life. Mixed with water or Puppy Milk (Happy Dog Puppy Milk) , a fine porridge is created, which the puppies accept with great enthusiasm. Happy Dog Puppy Starter Lamb & Rice is also characterized by its rapid solubility: the porridge can be fed after just 3 minutes.

From the 5th to 6th week of life, the dog is slowly switched to a suitable Happy Dog Puppy product .

Complete feed for puppies from the 4th to the 6th week of life

Who is
Happy Dog?

For over 50 years, we've been producing premium nutrition, specialising in novel and single-protein diets for healthy skin and digestion!

Award Winning

From a small family business to Germany’s best dog food brand, Happy Dog has been perfecting premium nutrition for over 50 years—trusted by pet parents everywhere!

Premium Nutrition - no fads

Happy Dog’s Natural Life Concept® delivers premium nutrition with up to 90% animal protein, essential nutrients, and natural ingredients—keeping your dog healthy from nose to tail!

Gentle Cooking Process

Crafted in Bavaria using our Thermostufenmix® process, Happy Dog dry food preserves essential nutrients for a wholesome, balanced, and delicious meal every time!

The Meat Content Myth: What Really Matters

Ever heard less is more? In pet food, that’s often the case. The industry loves its marketing buzzwords, and meat content is just another one. Here’s the truth: meat is 75% water. So when a food claims to be 80% meat, that doesn’t mean 80% protein—once the water’s gone, the real protein content is closer to 20%.

At Happy Dog, we cut through the noise. Our dry food delivers up to 90% animal protein in total protein content, ensuring real, digestible nutrition—not just clever numbers on a label. Because what matters isn’t how much meat goes in—it’s the quality of the protein and matching how much protein your dog needs to their activity levels.

Family-Owned, Locally Sourced, Truly Transparent

At Happy Dog, we’re a family-run business, not a corporate giant like Mars or Nestlé. We produce our own food in Bavaria, sourcing high-quality ingredients from local farmers instead of white-labelling from mass manufacturers like Golden Acres. With short delivery routes for freshness, carefully selected meats, and premium regional ingredients, we ensure transparency, sustainability, and real quality in every bite—because your dog deserves the best.

Happy Dog's Paw to Paw

  • £1 = 1 Meal Token

    Every time you collect 10 Meal Tokens, it translates into a generous donation of 300 grams of nutritious Happy Dog dry dog food. This is the equivalent to the daily dietary needs of a medium-sized dog, such as a 25kg Labrador.

    What are my points 

  • At the end of every month we donate the food.

    We'll convert all redeemed Meal Tokens into dog food donations for rescue centres in the UK or ROI.
