What is Tailwaggers?

If you love dogs and cats and enjoy helping them, then please think about supporting the work of Tailwaggers Club Trust. We are not just another dog and cat charity. Tailwaggers helps needy dog and cat owners in meeting the cost of veterinary bills. Often the need for help is a result of a change in circumstances: ill health; domestic situations; financial hardship or just simply a consequence of bad luck. To receive an unplanned veterinary bill, due to a pet’s serious accident or illness can be devastating to owners. We are often the ONLY organisation that dog and cat owners can turn to when they are in distress about meeting the cost of unexpected veterinary bills. Sometimes this can, quite literally, make the difference between life and death of a beloved pet. Unlike other animal charities, Tailwaggers does not adhere to strict rules and regulations and reviews each referral on individual merits, which gives us greater flexibility in helping pet owners.

Our past...

The Tailwaggers Club was founded in 1928 by Captain Horace Hobbs. Dogs that became members of The Tailwaggers Club received a special collar medallion engraved with the Club’s logo and the motto ‘I help my pals’. In just over a year, the Club flourished and more than 200,000 dogs had enrolled, enabling £20,000 to be donated to help the work of the Royal Veterinary College.

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.
