Ci Hapus Happy Dog Grooming Spa
Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales

A space built around your dog's wellbeing

Ci Hapus — meaning "Happy Dog" in Welsh — was founded on a simple belief: grooming should never be stressful. We created a calm, unhurried environment where dogs feel safe from the moment they arrive.

Nestled in Kidwelly, our salon serves dogs and their owners across Carmarthenshire with patience, skill, and genuine love for every breed.

All appointments one-to-one — no kennels, no waiting crates

Patience first, scissors second

Every dog is different — different coat, different temperament, different history with groomers. We take the time to understand yours before we reach for a single tool.

Anxious dogs are handled with extra care and no rush. We work at your dog's pace, not ours.

Our Welsh roots run deep, and so does our commitment to the local community. We are proud to serve Kidwelly and the surrounding Carmarthenshire countryside.

Bath & Brush

A thorough shampoo and condition, professional blow-dry, and a full brush-out to remove dead coat and leave your dog clean and comfortable. No clip included.

Ideal for shorter or smooth coats

Puppy Introduction

A gentle, positive first experience designed to build confidence. Your pup meets the salon, the sounds, and the tools at their own pace — no stress, no rush.

Recommended from 16 weeks post-vaccination

Nail Clip & File

Careful trimming and filing of nails to a safe, comfortable length. We take our time with nervous dogs and offer a styptic powder service if needed.

Available as a standalone appointment

Ear Cleaning

Gentle removal of debris and wax from the ear canal using safe, dog-appropriate solutions. We check for signs of infection and advise if a vet visit is warranted.

Included in full groom or standalone

Teeth Brushing

A dental hygiene service using dog-safe enzymatic toothpaste. Regular brushing supports gum health and keeps doggy breath in check between vet dental checks.

Add-on or standalone

From tiny to enormous, we groom them all

Whether your dog is a delicate Chihuahua or a magnificent Bernese Mountain Dog, we have the experience and equipment to handle every coat type and temperament.

We let our results speak for themselves — through the dogs who leave with a wag in their step.

"Our Cockapoo Barley used to dread the groomers. After his first visit to Ci Hapus he was relaxed the whole time. The difference in approach is remarkable — calm, patient, and genuinely lovely."
Sarah M.Llanelli
"I was nervous bringing my elderly Springer in as she's always been anxious around strangers. They were absolutely brilliant with her — no fuss, no stress, and she looked immaculate."
Gareth W.Carmarthen
"The puppy introduction session was such a good idea. Our Labrador puppy Mabel now goes to the groomers without a second thought. Worth every penny to start them off on the right foot."
Rachel T.Kidwelly

Grooming done differently

  • One dog at a time

    Your dog has our complete, undivided attention throughout their appointment. No distractions, no background kennel noise.

  • Anxiety-aware techniques

    We use gentle, reward-based handling and take breaks whenever a dog needs them. There is never any rush.

  • Quality products throughout

    We use professional-grade, dog-safe shampoos and conditioners suited to your dog's specific coat type and skin condition.

  • Honest advice

    We will always tell you what your dog needs — and what they do not. No upselling, no unnecessary add-ons.

  • Local, independent, Welsh

    We are part of the Kidwelly community. When you book with us, you support a small local business that genuinely cares about your dog.

  • Ensure your dog's vaccinations are up to date
  • Try a short walk beforehand to help them relax
  • Let us know about any skin conditions or sensitivities
  • Mention any grooming difficulties from previous visits
  • Puppies should be at least 16 weeks and fully vaccinated
  • We recommend regular grooming every 6–8 weeks for most breeds
