Setting the Standard
In Premium Pet Care!
Winnipeg’s first dog and cat luxury resort. At Happy Tails our number one priority is to provide a safe and fun place of play and socialization for all of our four legged members- dogs or cats alike. Our family owned business strives to create and maintain personal relationships with all of our members. We are Winnipeg’s most complete pet care facility, offering nearly endless services for your pets! We offer dog daycamp, dog hotel, cat hotel, and dog grooming- all under one roof! We can guarantee you will be amazed by the variety of our services and our extensive knowledge.
We can’t wait to meet you and your pet!
We all wish we could take our beloved pooch with us everywhere. When you can’t take them with you, leave them and your worries behind at Happy Tails Resort and Spa! We aren’t your typical boarding facility, in fact we are far from it! Your dog will play with their 2 legged and 4 legged best friends all day in daycamp, limiting actual kennel time to only meals and bedtime.

We cater to feline friends too at Happy Tails Pet Resort and Spa! We have committed our upstairs area to our fellow cat lovers! Our custom built-in luxury cat condos overlook our open concept lobby area, giving your cat tons of natural light and plenty of entertainment and mental stimulation. We have a great cat play room that features plenty of room to roam and explore.
Our daycamp is divided into multiple areas, so we can easily divide dogs into different groups if we feel necessary, whether it is based on size or personality. We are happy to accommodate multiple dog families with our special multiple dog pricing. We are a 24/7 facility, that operates 365 days of the year, so we can accommodate your busy lifestyle!
Nobody does the pet spa like Happy Tails! Our certified groomers will book your dog in a five hour grooming slot, 8am-1pm, 10am-3pm or 12pm-5pm. This time allocation allows us to give your dog a break whenever we feel necessary. Each spa treatment includes your dog’s nails being trimmed and filed, ears plucked and cleaned, application of a bacteria reducing tooth enzyme, deep cleansing shampoo and conditioner, hand blow dry, a complete brushout, your choice of perfume and a complimentary bandana. As a bonus, of course all our spa clients have access to the entire Happy Tails facility, including the Daycamp!
Don’t just take our word for how awesome we are,
here is what some of our clients have to say!
Very friendly staff. Great with my dogs even though they aren’t the most eager customers when it comes to nail trims.

We can leave him there with confidence knowing that he will be treated as we would treat him.

In a time of profound sadness the staff at Happy Tails took in my dad’s beloved Gaby. When they heard of his passing Celeste contacted us to see if they could help to rehome her since we were unable to take her. The compassion they showed to us and Gaby has been amazing. Thank you will never be enough.

We’ve used both the St Anne’s and Samborski locations, but have gone to Samborski’s most recently and most often. Staff are great to both human and four legged guests! My Nova (Great Pyrenees) is super shy and takes a while to warm up, but she always has a little tail wag for Samborski Staff.When I leave my fur baby with HappyTails I know that she’ll be safe and well taken care of. Plus having the photos of her day is awesome and soothes any anxieties I may have! They have great indoor and outdoor facilities!

Finn loves to spend time at Happy Tails! His grooming leaves him looking so handsome and he uses up lots of energy in daycare playing with his friends. When Finn needs a place to stay overnight, we know he’s in good hands while we’re away. Staff is always friendly and excited to see Finn. Facilities are bright and clean. Amazing place!

My dog is 14 years old and during COVID - I needed to find a groomer who was still operating. Lucky for me, Happy Tails was still operating under COVID guidelines. I was very happy then and when the time came for another grooming appointment I booked again. To be honest I am even happier this time. Best grooming experience for my anxious and often cranky pal - EVER! I HIGHLY recommend Happy Tails Pet Resort & Spa... Super friendly and accommodating staff, squeaky clean and reasonably priced! Thanks!!

This is an amazing facility where the staff really get to know your dog (and you!) by name. After the first couple of visits, the staff greeted my pup by name and when picking her up, I knew they paired my face with my pup from their greeting. She is always super excited for her days here - so much so that she does not even look back as they bring her in. Would highly recommend!

Kona just LOVES doggy daycare!! I can’t say enough great things about the Sambroski location! My dog is a rescue and is very nervous and anxious with new people and situations but loves all the staff! Tail is always wagging when we walk in and he always comes back so tired and happy!! It’s so great to able to leave your dog somewhere and know they are well taken care of so you can enjoy your time away too! Kona will be back soon 😊

My dog Gus is a Chocolate Lab who is very intense and he has been going there since he was a puppy. The staff have worked hard to make day care a positive experience for him. They work with me to deal with his intensity and anxiety, offering suggestions and are always available to listen. Gus has had hotel stays a few times and is excited to go and tired and happy when I pick him up. I have recommended HappyTails Pet are sport and Spa to every pet owner I know. I love the staff, their expertise, their belief system and the environment. Best pet day care around!

Happy Tails has the most incredible staff and Bailey absolutely loves going there to play! It makes my heart smile when she walks in, full bum wag, up to the front staff to give kisses (which they always give back) and then immediately walks to the door to see her friends. Thank you to the wonderful staff for loving her up and making sure she she is nice and tired by the end of her day.

We took our dog there for a deshed and a nail trim. When my husband picked our dog up he was told that she was too scared to groom but they were able to bathe her and brush her and charged him $78 - in our opinion that's a hefty price tag for things we do with her at home already.
Brandi Taylor

My pup, Sailor, LOVES attending daycare at HappyTails. Like SO much! She literally loses her mind as soon as we drive up to the building. I enjoy that I can schedule nail trimming and/or grooming appointments during her daycare day. It is very convenient for my busy schedule! We travel across the city specifically to attend HT. The facility is clean and welcoming, and the staff are incredible - they feel like family... 😉 I can’t rave about HT enough, we love you guys!

Took my 13 week old puppy for his first day at Happy Tails. I can vouch that he had a blast. Passed out on the way home and was out for the rest of the night! I also enjoyed seeing pictures posted on their facebook page - you can tell by the photos he had the best day with all his new Fur-friends! Staff were helpful and friendly! Place was clean and organized. Highly recommend. Looking forward to taking our dog back again soon!

I’ve given HappyTails multiple tries. There have been good times and bad, unfortunately my last few visits have left me feeling uneasy. I’ve had multiple encounters with snarky or rude staff, when I’ve had perfectly reasonable questions. I’ve has my appointment lost and the situation corrected only after lengthy conversation with the manager. I’ve been told my dog isn’t good with grooming, which is true, however I was told the only solutions were to sedate or shave her... fortunately I have found a different solution. To now hearing of her being “corrected” for barking (dogs bark, I don’t understand the issue but that’s not a huge concern) and being “literally shoved” into a kennel where she then (obviously) exhibited signs of stress. As I stated, I’ve also had positive experiences at HappyTails - dogs has been groomed in a satisfactory manner, comes home tired after daycare - however I feel that my dog will have a more positive experience elsewhere.

Happy Tails is the best!! We started taking our dog Beethoven to this day care after we moved to the neighbourhood and met other pet owners who raved about the facility and the staff. We have not been disappointed! Beethoven loves playing with all the other dogs and the staff love seeing him walk through the door. It gives us a lot of confidence as owners when we drop him off that he will be well loved and looked after for the day. Plus, he is super tired at the end! The facility is always extremely clean and we love watching the Instagram videos during the day to see our pup!

Wellington loves staying at HappyTails. Everytime we pull up to the Samborski location he rushes us to get inside. All of the staff that we've met have been extremely accommodating and we feel very comfortable leaving Wellington in their care.

We always bring our fur baby Charlee, to Happy Tails for daycare and when we are out of town for a few days. This past holiday season, we had to bring her for 12 nights and we were worried (I was just sad to leave her) that it was too long. Well we just picked her up last night and although she was so excited to see us that she peed, she was sad to leave. She’s been sleeping non stop and I can tell she has the best time! The staff at both locations are amazing- so friendly and helpful and caring! She used to be sketchy around other dogs , sometimes aggressive but within a few weeks of her at day care interacting with all the dogs, her behaviour improved significantly. You guys are killing it!!! Thank you!!!

We brought our puppy to HappyTails for 8 nights while we went to Mexico , and she had an amazing time and was so well Taken care of. Mia had never been without us and at 71/2 months , we were so nervous ...but she did amazing and we were SO pleased with the care she was given. I’d highly recommend to anyone , and we’ll be back many times over ! ❤️

We've moved over to Samborski now since they're so much closer to my work...the transition was SEEMLESS (for Kita...lol) as there were lots of familiar faces from St.Anne's (of the 2 & 4 legged kind )...lots of extra room inside & out and the technology behind how amazingly clean their facility always is makes this facility TOP NOTCH in EVERY WAY! I recommend Happy Tails Samborski location every time I talk with other fur parents 🙂

I have been bringing Daisy my one year old chesapeake to Happy Tails Samborski location 5-6 days a week while I'm at school and work. She absolutely loves it here and the staff are amazing. They always make sure to keep you updated and post multiple photos throughout the day so you can see what your pup's up to all day. I get them to trim her nails monthly and they do an amazing job, can't even hear her nails touch the floor after they trim them! I would highly recommend bringing your pet here.

A girlfriend of mine recommended HappyTails. We were so very impressed with the staff and facility. Our fur baby Crosby absolutely loved it! He walked out wagging his tail! We will continue our weekly play dates and will now change our groomer to go to Happy Tails.

We have had Leroy at both locations and he loves it! However we have made the switch to Samborski as it is much closer to home and the facility is huge. A big plus is the fenced large dog play area outside! We have always had courteous service and have been contacted if something comes up. Leroy has boarded with both locations - wouldn’t use anyone else! The fact that he loves going there makes traveling less stressful as we know he is well taken care of and loved! The grooming services are excellent!

My little guy Timmy loves this place. whenever we go on vacation he always stays at happytails.We picked him up today after a short stay and you could tell how comfortable and affectionate he was with the staff.My dog Timmy is very timid and shy but the staff are so kind and caring that he was happy and jumping all over them.Just a great fun place for pups to stay.

I’m so happy for the new Samborski location. It’s so convenient for me to get to, the new building is beautiful and spacious. More importantly, my dog absolutely loves it! I can’t get their door open fast enough for my pup. His wiggly body exudes happiness and excitement, he doesn’t even look back at me to say goodbye when he’s led to the big dog area. The staff are great and I leave there feeling confident that he’s going to be well taken care of. I love this place!!!

We brought our dog to the hotel for two nights and three days. She was well taken care of and played with the other dogs. The daily pictures on Facebook put our mind at ease and when I called to check on her the staff were understanding. When we picked up Lucy the staff didn’t want to see her go. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring her back.

I've been taking my dog here now for about 8 months. She'll go usually a few times a week and I've never had a single problem and only have positive things to say. They don't require that you pre-book like some other daycares which is super convenient as my work schedule changes from week to week and that paired with them being a 24hr facility is super convenient for people that don't always work day shifts. The staff at both locations are all so friendly and my dog is always so excited to go there and play with not only the dogs but the staff too. They've helped her gain so much confidence. She used to be a timid puppy who only felt comfortable around small dogs but now she goes in with the big dogs and loves to play with them. They really helped her adjust to that change and kept me updated at every visit with how she was doing. The staff have always communicated really well with me - whether it be something funny my dog did, who she made friends with that day, or anything else of note which I really appreciate because it shows just how much attention they're paying to the dogs. I wouldn't bring her anywhere else. If you're looking to find a daycare I highly recommend you try here (I've been to both the St Annes and the Samborski location - and both are amazing)!

I've been taking Frankie, my 7 month golden to Happy Tails for the past several weeks, and have nothing but great things to say! All of the staff that I've met are wonderful, and really care about all of the animals in their care. Frankie is always so excited to go to doggy day care now, so I know that he's enjoying himself and being taken great care of! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place for their pup! 10/10!

I can't say enough about Happy Tails and it's amazing staff!! Our two pups usually get to go and play twice a week, and they just love it!❤ The staff is not only friendly and professional, but also knowledgeable and completely genuine in thier love of dogs. I feel completely safe leaving my boys in their capable hands, where I know they are getting exercise, training and socialization when I'm at work. Thank you Happy Tails. 11/10 would recommend 😉😉

We moved to Winnipeg from the East Coast a year ago and knew virtually no one. We had a small baby and an energetic dog and were living in a new city. Once we found Happy Tails, it made our move seem so much easier. Knowing that there is somewhere to take out dog, Dory where she is greeted at the door and the staff are genuinely happy to see her has been such a great experience . She has boarded there multiple times now and is groomed there as well. As an anxious dog mom, I was very hesitant to leave her but Happy Tails have always been very good in communicating and keeping us up to date on our girl. She absolutely loves going to day care and we love that we have found such a great, family owned business that takes such good care of Dory. I would absolutely recommend Happy Tails to anyone looking for a place to bring your dog!

This is the most wonderful, clean, friendly, and caring environment for your pet. We went on our honeymoon for 2 weeks and left our beloved dog behind knowing she would be engaged and well taken care of at HappyTails. We loved getting to see the uploads everyday of her at daycare and knew that at any time we could call and speak to someone about our dog and her needs. I can’t speak highly enough about HappyTails!

I take my frenchie pup to happy tails a few times a week and he LOVES it. Being a high energy dog, it makes a great place for him because when he gets home he's crawling into bed for the remainder of the day from playing so much. He is ALWAYS excited when I say we're going to daycare. The staff at HT are always friendly and welcoming, and when you bring your dog in you can truly see the love they have for animals. Your dog will be spoiled with love and good times at this daycare!! Thank you Celeste Bennett and staff, for taking care of my dog and many of my friends and family <3 (Also if you take your dog to get groomed here he/she will leave smelling amazing for weeks) <3<3<3

This place is horrible and the general manager -CELESTE BENNETT is the most unfriendly and rude woman running a business I have ever met. Upon looking for a place to board our puppy for a few nights my boyfriend and I called around to a few places. I called on Friday September 21st so get information on the process and they said he would need to come for a minimum of 1.5 hours to “get to know the place.” I said that’s great and inquired about the time I could do this. The lady I spoke to on the phone told me I could come ANYTIME as they were a 24 hour daycare. We came on the Sunday and while we were waiting a dog came out of daycare and ran towards our dog. Celeste rudely stated “ABSOLUTELY NO DOG CONTACT IN THE LOBBY.” This is absolutely a fair rule but as new people to doggy daycare standing there with all our paperwork maybe nicely stating this would be a better way of approaching new customers. As we were called up the counter (after people that walked in after us), we started to talk to Celeste and said we were here to drop our puppy off for the 1.5 hour doggy daycare test. She proceeded to tell me that they don’t do this on Sundays. I then said whoever I spoke to 2 days ago said we could come anytime. She said it’s stated on the website. Even after now two rude interactions with this lady we continued to proceed. My boyfriend asked if we could have a tour as well and again she said “not on Sundays” in the snarkiest and rudest voice. At this point we told her she lacked any kind of customer service skills and walked out. For people that you are supposed to be leaving your beloved fur family members with I would never in a million years take my dog here. Good luck to Celeste and her company in growing a pet friendly business. Try taking a customer service seminar.

My dog spent 5 nights at the kennel, they muzzled him for barking, and they kept him away from other dogs. He is behaving skittish now, and was shaking when I got him home. We’ve used this kennel for 3+ years and our dog has never be treated this poorly ever! Thought I left him in a safe place he’s always loved going too! No staff called over the stay to let me know what was going one! I will never bring my dog there again!

We had our dog spend the last few days at this spa only to bring him home yesterday with large open wounds on his snout after being muzzled by their staff. They did not contact us or inform us of any issues that arrived and decided that it was humane to muzzle him. We have a four year old yellow lab an he is visibly traumatized by the treatment he received here. I would NOT recommend anyone entrust this establishment with their pet. I have contacted the staff and will be filing a grievance with the owner, the humane society and the Winnipeg Sun.

My golden attends HappyTails at least once per week and so loves it there. He seems to get depressed if his time between visits are a little to long. He loves the staff; sometimes he seems to love them more than me. I am ok with that as it means the people I trust my boy with are doing what I trust them to do! Keep up the great work HappyTails and your amazingly wonderful staff.

It is hard to find words to describe what Happy Tails means to me. I am not a dog owner but my sister is and she brings her dog there so much. I have never heard any complaint about her having overstayed her dog at HT. Staff with smiles on their faces(I most often see Lexi) and always sensitive to needs of dogs and even owners can never be repaid. So I give you top points for all your kind services and care. Blessings!

We had our pups Baxter and Harley at Happy Tails Pet Resort & Spa on an extended 2 week stay. We are impressed with the level of service and caring they have for the animals in their care. We were overseas on a trip and missing our pups but daily photo uploads of our dogs to their Facebook page provided us with comfort and happy thoughts. The staff were always quick with email updates whenever we asked how the dogs were doing. They offered complimentary baths for our dogs. Our pups were very well care for....we highly recommend Happy Tails and will be back.

We have been taking our dog to Happy Tails for over a year. We tried a few different daycares in the past and almost gave up. Our dog would go the first few times and after that would crouch in the corner of the car not wanting to get out. When we get to Happy Tails he is wagging his tail and jumps out with excitement to go play. That was all the assurance I needed to know we were taking our dog to a great place.

Spectacular, compassionate, considerate, professional- just a few words to describe the staff of HappyTails. In the past few months that my girlfriend, our Penny and I have experienced has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk through the door you’re greeted with smiling faces and met with enthusiastic animal-loving people. Penny is an energetic, loving and fairly easy-going dog but has some anxiety over new people and places. From day one the patience and care that the staff have shown for Penny has never faltered. We keep coming back and will continue to come back because of this. They treat her like she’s one of their own and Penny’s pinned ears and tail wags show it (huge shoutouts to Lexi, Nichole, Celeste and to all the staff who have shown nothing but compassion for Penny). If you have ever considered placing your dog in HappyTails but have yet to do so, do yourself and your dog a favor and go- I promise you’ll feel the same way we do!

This is the most amazing daycare. Our Penny is a bit apprehensive with most strangers. Each of the staff have taken the time to make her comfortable and get to know her. They know each dog by name and always have the best interest of the dog before anything else. We love to see the photos posted each day of her having the best time. We can’t thank you guys enough for all you do! �

We bring our dog Luna to Happy Tails once a week so she can get some exercise and socialize with other dogs. Staff are always friendly and recognize her as soon as she comes through the door. It’s nice that the staff takes the time to get to know the dogs and customers coming to their facility. Luna will continue to come for her weekly visits to play with her friends!

I am an owner of a dog who was expelled from happytails. He was aggressive towards another dog, luckily no one/furry one was injured. Happytails staff responded to the situation in a very professional and compassionate way. They separated my dog from the pack and attempted to contact me. I am a nurse so I couldn't leave work to come and get him (as that would be considered abandonment to my patients), they were very understanding of this and even kept Murphy in one of their dog condos until my boyfriend was able to get there to pick him up. Upon picking him up we were even given contact information for a trainer who specializes in aggression. Murphy is a very friendly guy and goes to the dog park often so it came as a shock to me that he would try to attack another dog. Did I question the staff/threaten them about this? Absolutely not. These are educated professionals who are dedicated to the safety of all animals in their care. I would absolutely still give happytails a 5 star review. Keep up the good work, you're all very appreciated for the work you do �This is something that happened over a year ago now and I still follow happytails on Facebook and always recommend them to anyone looking for a doggy daycare.Also as a side note we were never even charged for daycare that day, I think that speaks volumes about this daycare. They're not in it for the money, they're in it cause this is their passion.
