Finding reliable pet care can sometimes prove difficult, especially if you are new to the area, or even the country. Like choosing a school for your child, there really isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach to finding the right one, and that’s where Happy Buddies’ aim is to cater to each and every dog, keeping their own specific needs as their number one priority.

Using their own rescue dogs as inspiration, the team at Happy Buddies opened their doors in Al Quoz  in January 2022 and have fast become Dubai’s one stop shop for everything doggy related, providing all types of services from doggy day-care, boarding, pet travel & transport and last but by no means least, doggy grooming.


The Happy Buddies team have been a part of the pet industry for over 12 years, working in the veterinary, dog grooming, pet travel and dog training sectors – which helps in reassuring you of the service your doggo is receiving whilst in their care. Happy Buddies is also a proud member of the UAE’s largest veterinary pharmaceuticals company, so their cleaning products aren’t just animal friendly but veterinary grade safe too.

As any doggo parent knows, they need their own space to feel safe, and the team absolutely love to see how comfortable the pups become and how excited they are to play with their mates – both their two and four legged ones. The pups even pick out their own little areas for their beds for napping during movie time, being away from home can be stressful enough so afternoon naps are encouraged. Besides playing with their mates and carers, day-care activities are often introduced to make sure the doggies are learning something new, making new friends and building on their individual personalities.

For overnight stays, there are spacious rooms to include all their belongings and they can even accommodate shared spaces for siblings. With overnight staff to watch over them and give them a cuddle if needed, the doggies (and owners) have nothing to worry about! Part of their staycays at Happy Buddies include daily checks, bubbles baths or nail clips whenever required to ensure they’re fresh and comfortable during their stay.

The professionally trained groomers spend most of the day making sure the fur babies in the playgroups are going home fresh and comfortable – bubble baths all round! Besides full grooms and basic tidy ups, Happy Buddies also offer desheds to keep the fluffy ones nice and light, ensuring their coats are being well maintained – which also helps keeping homes tidy for you and helps the doggies in the often-stifling Dubai heat. The team will always go the extra mile and will let you know if your fur baby may require any extra pampering whilst in their care.

Providing a personalised service is one of Happy Buddies key values, and so their amazing relocation services can accommodate as much or little assistance from them as you require. Be it just specific paperwork you may need advice on or a full door-to-door service, their agents are more than happy to take on your requests.

Whether you’re joining for day-care or relocations, the team will always try to make sure you feel 100% with your choice in pet care, providing an honest and personalised experience for paw-rents and fur babies alike.
