What our customers say about us
Went into the Happy Beast on a whim about 6 months ago, and now it its our go to! the staff is super helpful and takes the time to help you pick out what you really want! The selection is outstanding, you will definitely find something for your furry buddy!!!

I have a high-maintenance kitten with severe allergies, and I’ve been having a hard time finding the right diet. The staff at The Happy Beast understood my struggle, and were able to suggest various options. With they’re advice I successfully converted my kitten to a raw diet, and she’s much healthier overall. I would absolutely recommend this store to anyone who loves their needy little cat as much as I do.

Love this store! Plenty of healthy food & treats plus tons of knowledge. I’m hooked!
This is my go to for anything pet related. I’ve been going to Natalie forever now and the personalized service she gives is what makes me come back again and again. Their selection of natural pet food is fantastic and you can always count on Natalie to make each and every visit wonderful!
We adopted a cat from The Humane Society and after a month she would not come out from under the bed for more than 5 minutes. I stopped in the Happy Beast and talked to Natalie. She talked to me about changing my cat’s diet to gluten free canned food. In less than 24 hours my cat was coming out from under the bed and hanging out for over an hour at a time. A week later, she is sleeping with my daughter. So thankful that Natalie took the time to talk to me even though I was a first time shopper at her store. THANK YOU!!
Great selection of products and amazing people who know what they are talking about! Highly recommended!
Merlin loves the store and Chelsea! He had so much fun sniffing everything! the bathtub was so easy to use and it made Merlin’s bath time quick and painless!
The Happy Beast is a great place for pet food. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about what they sell. It’s the best natural pet food place around.

Helped my cat with IBD, very helpful, accommodating, these guys know their stuff!
Knowledgeable, friendly staff and the best selection and prices on grain-free cat foods!
Great products and friendly staff! I just adopted a rescue kitty and wanted to give her better food than she had been eating at the overcrowded shelter. She made om-nom-nom noises the first time she ate their natural cat food. She’s been here about a month now and has a much better coat and seems much healthier than when she arrived here as a timid, under-appreciated kitty. I’ll be back to buy some other flavors for her to try soon!

Both my dogs and I love this store. They love the food and toys and I love the fact that I am feeding them good quality food and the fact that the toys are so durable.

We love this store. Always friendly staff and great selection. Bonus Zeus always gets to go with us.
I have never experienced such kindness and helpfulness in retail before. Everything is fairly priced and the employees seems to truly I care about you and your dog before anything else.
I was seeking food for a cat with chronic IB and Natalie took the time to educate me about options, printed a helpful article, and dug into the freezer for samples. The Happy Beast carries the highest quality premium foods – these folks are experts and can help you make good selections for your companions.
Great staff, service and products!! They truly care about you and your pets’ needs. And super tubs for dog wash!!
I have told all my friends about The Happy Beast since going there recently. Over the years, my dog who would rarely eat due to digestive issues . This condition became worse recently. The vet said she was starving herself to death. I just happened to drive by The Happy Beast and stopped in and I shared my dilemma. They seemed genuinely concerned about my dog and suggested I try a certain food for her. She is now a totally different dog. She can’t wait to eat and has renewed energy. My daughter and I call it a Thanksgiving miracle. I felt the owners were very knowledgeable and gave me their undivided attention.
The Happy Beast is a pleasure to shop at. The wide selection of cat food makes getting what my pet needs in one stop possible. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I would recommend the Happy Beast to all pet owners out there.

My Furbabies and I don’t get to visit enough! When we do everyone is always helpful whether it is regarding my dog or my cat children. Natalie and Chelsea are always encouraging and educational!

I stopped in to buy a brush for my new cat and have quickly become a lifelong customer. Natalie, the owner, takes the time to learn about your pet and situation so she can recommend the best products, even if you don’t ask her to! Her staff is super friendly and helpful. I had no idea I could put my kitty on a raw diet but she educated me and helped guide me through the process, which ended up being very easy. Definitely recommend!
A variety of high quality products at reasonable prices, and a welcoming knowledgeable staff make this a stellar store in Lafayette. I’ve always had good experiences and valuable guidance. My cats are healthier and happier than ever.
Chelsea and Natalie are the best! So knowledgeable and helpful, and great advocates for rescue animals! Please visit this store; you’ll be so glad you did!
A hidden gem, knowledgeable and pleasant staff. Great variety of food for our pets. We have been back twice already and will make it a regular stop.I highly recommend this lovely store.

This place is wonderful in terms of food and nutrition knowledge and how to maintain or obtain health of cats and dogs. They are caring, sensitive, well educated and also super nice. I’m thrilled to have found them.

Always fantastic Seth PernaJuly 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best pet food store in Colorado, if you ask me. The owner is so sweet, she has been extremely helpful and saved me several vet bills when my cat seemed to have a UTI. They have a great rewards program and treat you and your pets like family. 20/10, I could not recommend more. harrison pionJuly 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Amazing staff and high quality and thoughtful products. Plus, cats! Rex & Julie MooreJuly 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best dog and cat food store in Boulder. They make a lot of their own treats and chews on site. They even have a cat cafe. Great new location. Bigger store than previous. Lots of parking. Try some of their bison bones and treats. Tamara HelmJune 27, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the absolute best pet food shop in East Boulder County. Great selection, high quality food, really great customer service, including better advice on my pet’s health than my vet. And now there’s a cat cafe too with an outdoor patio, soon to be complete with beer & wine. What more could you ask for?
