Welcome to
Happy Tails Pet Resort and Spa!
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, dog grooming and dog training – 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!
My dog Daisy had been going to Happy Tails for over a year now. She is always always excited to be there. The staff are caring & competent. I recently used their doggie hotel services for a 10 night stay & would not consider having anyone else look after my precious little dog.

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.

My dog loved her first visit. Staff was great at drop off and pick up. My girl was tired once I picked her up and that tells me that she had a good time. I don’t doubt it that she was in good hands, and for sure we will definitely come back. Totally recommend it �

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.

Our dog Bill has been attending HappyTails for approximately one year now and it has always been a really positive experience. We really appreciate being able to check in on him through the photos they post daily. You always have the peace of mind knowing he is well looked after. He comes home happy and exhausted every time so you know he has enjoyed his time there.

The staff at Happy Tails are exceptional! I never know who is more excited, my dog when he gets there or the staff to see my dog! The facility is a fantastic large size, and always clean. Fabulous groomers at this location as well. So happy we found Happy Tails. Will continue to recommend to anyone who is looking for a great doggy daycare!

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!

Our fur child loves happy tails( as do we.) He knows if we’re in the car and turn a certain direction he’s going to HT and gets so excited! They have a great staff that always seem to genuinely care about your pets well being. I would never hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. Keep up the great work!

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.

Denzel has been going to Happy Tails for a few months, and he loves it! He knows the word “daycare” and gets very excited to leave in the morning to be dropped off on my way to work. The staff at HT are extremely kind and caring, and always ensure all of the animals in their care are attended to and safe. I really appreciate the environment they have created for my dog, where he has fur friends to play with!

We could not ask for a better home away from home for Missy while we are at work. The staff are all amazing, professional and care about all the animals that walk in that front door. Our dogs separation anxiety and attitude has improved so much this past year and we have Happy Tails to thank for that.

I love this place! My golden retriever loves it there, he’s always happy to go for a day of daycare.

Can’t wait for the new location!

I bring my dog here whenever I go away. The ladies that work there absolutely love him and not many people even like my crazy chihuahua. They take very good care of him. I’ve taken my dog to many other overnight boarding places and this one is by far the best! 5 stars!

Our family has known the Bennett family for years. They exhibit a loving and caring demeanour for all dogs. Celeste has shown our beloved Juliette, a Norwegian Elkhound, and has a true passion for animals. To her this is not just a business, but a lifelong passion, which is evident when you see her interaction with animals! Since Juliette is an escape artist in the truest form, I would not trust her at any facility other than Happy Tails. The safety of our animals is of the utmost importance, whether that may mean not allowing them to escape, or not allowing them to be attacked by another dog. Thank you for your policy, it shows that you value the safety of our animals first and foremost, and above all else!

Going to HappyTails is just about the only thing that tires out our extremely-high energy pup, Ivy. She is always so excited to play with the other dogs and absolutely LOVES the staff. It is obvious that they truly care about the animals that visit. I was really nervous about bringing Ivy here (or anywhere for that matter) - especially leaving her overnight when she has had extended stays - but we have now been bringing her for about a year and it has proven to be a great option for us and especially for Ivy who is always full of wags and kisses when she arrives!

Our dog Tank has been going to Happy Tails a day or two a week for the past three months, on the recommendation of several other very happy customers. The staff at Happy Tails is amazing - how they remember every dog and family member, even for casual users like us, just speaks to their customer service. When there was a minor issue with our dog's behaviour, they figured out what his trigger was and found a way to divert his attention during the busy drop off/pick up times so that he'd continue to thrive there. On the mornings we don't take him, he stands at the door wiggling his boxer bum, looking at us expectantly before going into his kennel. The mornings we do take him, he is so excited to leave with us and to arrive at Happy Tails. We are thankful for Celeste and her wonderful staff and that we have such an amazing facility in our neighborhood.

My puppy (Kinnley) suffers from separation anxiety so over the busy Christmas season we decided to try out Happy Tails. They have been absolutely amazing with her! The patience that they have shown us is above and beyond. We continue to take our puppy there at least once a week to tire her out and she now gets so excited as soon as we pull into the parking lot!I have recommended Happy Tails to so many friends and I will continue to do so!

Our Bailey is quite the princess at home, and doesn’t always do great with other dogs, as she takes her role as a guard dog very seriously! So we were very nervous leaving her there, but the staff assured us that she would be safe and watched and if she had to be moved into a condo that’s what they would do. When picking her up they assured us she had an awesome time, and was very friendly with the staff and other dogs during play time. And the smiley pictures that they posted on their Facebook page proved it and assured us that she was safe to return again! �� thank you happy tails!

We’ve been taking our dog, Izzy, to Happy Tails for over a year now. We had an emergency when she was only 11 weeks old and had to leave town, had no idea what to do with our brand new little puppy, and then we found Happy Tails. She had an absolutely amazing time, and we’ve been taking her for doggie day camp ever since. As soon as we pull into the parking lot and she realizes where we are she’s immediately by the car door waiting to get out so she can go play, and whenever we pick her up she is all played out and exhausted. We’ve tried to take her to other daycares that are more conveniently located on our way to work, but she’s never as excited to go there as she is to go to happy tails. All staff we’ve encountered really seem to care about the dogs, they mostly all know Izzy, she’s always excited to see them all. Unfortunately she was injured while at another daycare, so she hasn’t been able to go play in a few weeks, but once she has recovered I think Happy Tails will be the only day camp I trust to take her to.

The best recommendation I can give is that my dogs LOVE going to Happy Tails. The staff know Mia and Jackson and love them and treat them like gold. Mia can be a challenge at dog parks and interacting with other dogs, she can be reactive, and I am thrilled with the work staff members do with her. She is so happy there. I also love the fact I can drop off or pick up anytime - which makes a huge difference the days I have to be at work super early, or have late evening plans. I have boarded the dogs many times - for up to a week, and when I pick them up, they are happy to see me, but sad to leave Happy Tails. I can't ask for anything more!!! Thank you!!

Our pup is currently at Happy Tails for two weeks while I am away. Happy Tails is my pups second home due to the fact that they treat her so amazing there. The staff get to know the dogs personality and do everything to keep them safe and happy. They go above and beyond and have made it easy to leave my pup when I know she will be safe and happy.

My dog loves the staff at Happy Tails and would be quite happy to stay with them when I go to pick her up. The staff have a genuine love for dogs and treat the dogs in their care as their own. My dog was always stressed and nervous at other groomers I had tried. I’m so glad I found a place where she feels comfortable!

I’ve only used them for grooming, but I love that they let the grooming dogs stay as long as you need. Great for working professionals who love their dogs.

I can not recommend this facility more, they are filled with experienced and friendly staff. Our little gal Nike nearly died at another facility as she had gotten into all of the food that was kept for the other dogs. She was placed in a room unsupervised and this occurred. When this happened we were very stressed in finding another daycare as my husband and I have very busy work schedules. But Happytails saved the day. Happytails post pictures of the dogs enjoying their day and I look forward to every day seeing how many photos our Nike can photobomb! She loves all the staff and we do too! If your reading anything negative about this place please be advised you are reading complete fiction. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Happytails for giving us piece of mind that our furbaby is safe, happy and loved! We are truly grateful and cannot thank you enough!

As a fellow member of the dog fancy I would put 100% trust in Celeste and her company to safely care for my dogs. Having a safety protocol policy speaks for her level of attention to her clients and their pets. ���

I first looked into Happy Tails when I rescued my dog, Jo'burg. I've had many challenges with him as he is my first rescue. His breed/temperament is unknown and his past was traumatizing. I looked to Happy Tail's services to help socialize my dog, knowing he can get startled and be reactive. I have worked with behaviourists on his insecurities. As for Happy Tails - I have had many conversations with the owner of Happy Tails, as well as the staff members, inquiring about how he was each visit. I have even called them after a visit when my brother picked him up for me. They've always taken the time to listen to my concerns (about socializing him and his insecurity) and answer my questions/provide updates.Having grown up with black labs, I've never had an aggressive dog before. This poor Jo'burg has had a rough past and due to his insecurities has been reactive in the past. Although I have worked with Dog Behaviourists before, I still worry as he is an animal. Happy Tails has always reassured me that their workers are there to monitor the play and I'd certainly be told of any possible reactivity/aggression from Jo'burg's end. I appreciate their attention to my dog and other's, with their focus on safety. I appreciate their strict policy and their honesty about my dog's behaviour (so far so good). I feel very confident that Happy Tails has the best interest of Jo'burg, his black lab sister, and the other dogs. We are all trying to do the best for our pet by taking them to doggy daycare to play/socialize, and I feel confident that Happy Tail is providing that to many dogs. Keep doing what you're doing!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Happy Tails. Their goal is the safety and well being of all animals in their care, and it truly shows. My pup (Presley) used to hate going to our past facility (which I will leave nameless - they were great but just not a good fit for him). At happy tails he comes home happy and very sleepy, and looking great (hypo - so he goes to grooming then daycare). I love how the staff ask me if he needs to go into a condo (to be on his own) or into general day care, he did start off in the condos but after a few visits, I changed my mind (knowing they split up the big and small dogs (unlike my previous facility - which made Presley uneasy (he’s a small dog - 5lbs)) He now has a great time - I love all the pictures of him at daycare so I can see how well he is doing! Great work happy tails staff!

I've been bringing my Ebby to Happy Tails for a few months now, usually once a week, and she's had a couple of sleepovers. She always gives me a look the moment I turn onto St. Anne's, and by the time we're turning onto the parking lot, she is bouncing in the seat, ready to go play with her friends. The staff love her, as they do all the pets in their care, and knew her by name the second visit. Ebby gets plenty of cuddles and play time and is exhausted when I pick her up. Their grooming services are excellent and so convenient. The fact that they're open 24/7 also means that this single dog mom gets a night out every now and then, and that makes everyone happy! Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Happy Tails who love and look after my Ebby for me.

We have left our 4 pets, Maddox, Pacey, Loki and Maia, at Happy Tails for two Christmases in a row. They do not attend on a regular basis so we worried they would have a hard time adjusting but all four animals love their time spent there. We love seeing pictures while we are away of everyone playing and enjoying themselves. It really puts our minds at ease. We will definitely continue to board our pets at Happy Tails in the future !!

We've used Happy Tails to watch our two Shiba Inus on multiple occasions and for a good length of time to which we have had nothing but excellent experiences with them. They are superb in pet handling and responsibility and go above and beyond for their customers. We highly recommend them to anyone with pets and will use them always for our dogs. Thanks Happy Tails for running a fantastic operation!

We started bringing our boy Brody to Happy Tails before our trip to Cuba, so we could see how he did at day camp before boarding him there. He’d been to other facilities, with discouraging results. Happy Tails came highly recommended by friends so we were cautiously optimistic. Well, he loves it here! We bring him on a fairly regular basis because he truly enjoys his time at Happy Tails... when we pull into the parking lot he starts wiggling and wagging, and he literally pulls me towards the front door. The staff are wonderful and know how to handle the pets in their care, and have helped Brody come out of his shell. I have recommended Happy Tails to others and will continue to do so.

I am immensely proud of a dog kennel, boarder, spa, dog related business that will protect its clients against unstable animals that may set off the rest of them. It is their job to make sure that it is a balanced and safe pack for ALL the dogs. As we all know it just takes one moment to create a pack mentality and that is why it is absolutely critical to make sure each dog “plays well with others”.Don’t have to look far to see news story after news story of dogs that I have been injured or killed because they were left alone with dogs that they never should’ve been alone with and I would never take my dog to a place that allowed unstable or aggressive dogs to run with my own.It takes a caring staff to turn down future income for the safety of their charges, and I applaud this business for its steadfastness in maintaining a strict no aggressive dog’s policy.

After our first experience at Happy Tails, my partner and I decided that driving half way across the city to have our dog groomed was absolutely 100% worth it. Not only was the staff professional, but they were also calm and very sweet to our shy little puppy. Although he has only been groomed there twice, we are always so happy with the amazing grooming. He always has a big smile on his face whenever we drop him off and an even bigger smile when we pick him up. Oliver and I are already looking forward to his next haircut and play time in daycare!

We have brought our dog Tad on several occasions and he loves it. We have taken him for afternoons while we do running around, have had him stay over night for a night or 2 when we had to run out of town and we have had him stay there for 2 weeks while we went on a vacation we couldn't bring him on and we have never had any problems. Our dog is a better dog after having stayed at happy tails. He is a pretty big chicken most of the time but he loves that place and the people that work there. The workers know him by name as soon as we walk through the door and he always jumps and puts his front paws on the counter so he can say hi as soon as possible. When we went out of town and I sent emails checking up on him they were always super quick with responses and never had an issues with my worried check ins (which were always for no reason because Tad was happy and playing and no trouble.) We specifically travel to the other end of the city to bring our dog to Happy Tails, you won't find a better place in the city or better staff that love your dog like you do. I can not say enough good things about Happy Tails and I can not recommend them more.

I was hesitant to bring my dog Cora to another daycare as she had a not so great experience elsewhere. Happy Tails has been such a great experience for Cora! For a timid dog at time she’s become a very social dog now and I have HT to help thank for that! Although I do not live in the area it’s well worth the trip for her to play with her friends in a safe environment. I’d highly recommend HT to anyone! �

I am an animal lover, and I have been bringing my dogs and cats to Happy Tails since they opened. They have been nothing but great! I have used their hotel for dog and cat several times, spa services, and my dogs regularly go to daycare. And the dogs are always happy and excited to be there. Layla can’t wait to get in and play. Any concern whatsoever, and Celest or staff emails and calls right away. My cat was sick when we were away once, they called me, took her to our vet, and took awesome care of her. Thank you!! Always striving to improve, and staff is always friendly.

We brought our mini goldendoodle Remi to this facility for the pet hotel and the daycare and I cannot express how amazing the staff at Happy Tails were!! She would always leave tired and dirty-- my two tell-tale signs of a happy dog!! It was clear that she felt the same because whenever the car would pull into the parking lot her tail would start to wag and she'd pull us to the door! They post photos which always kept my mind at ease while I was away and they always greeted us with a smile. I have often said since we moved that I wish we could have taken Happy Tails with us!! Remi misses you all ��

Take my little guy here for his manicure needs.. staff are always super friendly and always remember Odins name. Even when he’s scared to go with them into another room they’re always very gently and he always comes back to me with a positive energy. I find it very hard trusting many people or groomers with my dog and I’m never left feeling worried with the staff that works at happy tails!

Our dogs love the facility and staff and always come home happy and tired. We appreciate their strict rules on safety, behaviors, illness and vaccinations. These policies assure the safety of all. We happily recommend them regularly and look forward to checking out the second location once complete! Keep up the great work HT team!!
