About us

Hello, we're Happy Tails Cádiz

I've been looking after dogs for 4 years now, and it started with one dog who changed how I saw everything: Simba. Once I had my own dog, I understood how much a walk, a bit of space, and someone paying real attention actually means to a dog — and I wanted other people's dogs to have that too, not just a cage and a feeding schedule. What I've learned since is simple: dogs do best when they're treated like family, not guests in a facility.

This isn't a large kennel business — there are no rows of cages and no queues of dogs waiting their turn. It's personalised care in a loving home, with plenty of space, long walks, sofa cuddles, and one-to-one attention. The same care I'd want for Simba. If you're looking for somewhere your dog will actually be looked after — not just looked in on — that's what we do here.
