It’s like Soho House — for dogs. A first-of-its-kind, all-in-one canine club is bringing bone-a-fido luxury to the Big Apple’s four-legged elites beginning next week. For an eye-popping $1,350 a month, Happy Tails’ ‘fur’st class members will have access to a variety of accommodations, including posh puppy playgrounds and obstacle courses, grooming, pet-friendly wine, a dog therapist and psychic and more at the company’s flashy new Tribeca location.
“It was time for doggie daycare to be revolutionized, and that’s what we’re doing here,” co-founder Irving Fallas told The Post during an exclusive first look at the Duane Street space. Happy Tails — like the famously finicky Soho House, where memberships run up to $5,163 annually — offers exclusivity and elevated luxury compared to the rest of the market, according to its founders. Not everyone is given the OK to enter the luxe life.
Prospective clients undergo a multi-step application and assessment process, and are only given the green light once the club’s doggie behavioral therapist deems the pup paw-fect. “We don’t foresee any problems, but of course people will come in and say their dog is great and amazing, even if it’s not. So we’re very careful,” co-founder Teddy Tawil explained.
The 2,500-square-foot clubhouse features a jungle-themed area in which active fidos can jump through hoops dangling from the ceiling; a “tea room,” where calmer canines can chill on fake grass and couches.
