Happy Cat cat food

SillyMangoX

Has anyone ever heard of/used this food before? They were sponsoring the cat show today so we god loads of free samples, just wondering does anyone know what it's like in terms of quality? Seems quite good value if you use the breeders scheme, €70 for 20 kgs!

So adding up their meats that's 14+4+4+1 (dried liver, estimated) or 23% of the total.

Probably not the best so? I might just go through the samples and see now they go, the guys on the stand gave us a bag of every flavor plus a bag of kitten food. Also won a bag of Real Nature (I think!) in the raffle so the cats are going to be spoiled!

I know it's a German company and that their dog food branch are pushing really hard in the UK, sponsoring lots of dog shows and events. I have friends in the UK with working sled dogs that have fed Happy Dog for a good few years and are happy with it, but I also have friends that have swapped, due to winning bags at sponsored events, and have gone back to their previous foods fairly quickly.

Sorry, I know that doesn't help regarding the cat food, but I think the company itself are going to be promoting the brands very heavily in the next year.

It's not the best in the world but there are plenty of worse out there that don't have meat as primary ingrident either. If your cats are happy on it then happy days (but the bolded fillers can cause issues with some cats). At the price you qouted I'd say it's fairly priced for what it contains; not a premium price but a middle of the ground level of pricing and the food content matches that.

I've used it but not the normal one, it's the cuisine range I've used. Might not be the best but the cats absolutely loved it and did quite well on it. It's more expensive than the regular one though, about €54 for 8kg on the german zooplus

We use the XL happy cat for our Coon, we find it quite good. We had him on the RC Maine Coon food and it was brutal. He doesnt eat raw so finding a large kibble for his teeth was tough. But in general I think the food is pretty good.
