In 1930, The Tailwaggers Club was able to offer financial support to the newly-formed Guide Dogs for the Blind. During the mid-30’s, the Club had almost a million dog members, many of them belonging to the Royal family and famous celebrities.
The Club continued on a reduced scale after the Second World War and in 1960, Spillers petfood company bought the club assets. The Club received a number of substantial legacies, and Spillers registered a charitable trust in 1972 to administer these funds - the Tailwaggers Club Trust
Today, Tailwaggers operates as an extremely small organisation, but it does make a real difference to pet owners, struggling to pay vet bills. Anything you can give will make a huge difference to needy pet owners who might otherwise be left with nowhere to turn.
