Meet Mia, the lively 6-year-old sweetheart at Happy Tappies! With endless energy and a heart full of love, Mia's obsession with balls knows no bounds. She's also the cuddliest princess you'll ever meet, but even royalty needs their space, and Mia is no exception.

When she's not busy ruling the playroom, you'll find her nestled in her teepee or tent, enjoying her own little castle away from the world. Mia's expertise in finding the perfect hideaway makes her our resident expert in teepees and tents.

KODA:

Meet Koda:

  • Breed: Kromfohrländer
  • Age: 5
  • Specialty: Leashes and Food bowls

Meet Koda, the adventurous 5-year-old dynamo at Happy Tappies! Though a tad shy, his spirit is anything but timid. With boundless energy and a love for the great outdoors, Koda thrives on long walks through forests, reveling in the joy of mud puddles and open spaces.

But Koda's not just about wild romps—he's also a model citizen on the leash. His impeccable leash manners make him the perfect tester for our assortment of leashes and harnesses. Whether it's long, short, or hands-free, Koda puts them all to the test with gusto.

Did we say gusto? His never satiated hunger also makes him the perfect tester for food bowls. Since he likes to throw those around to make sure we understand that he is still hungry.

With Koda leading the way, you can trust that every leash, harness and food bowl we offer is up to the challenge of keeping up with your adventurous and hungry pup. So gear up for your next outdoor adventure with Koda-approved accessories from Happy Tappies!

 

Our Promise:

You can rest assured that our Pups won't get tired of testing products and only recommending the highest quality to you, your furry friend and your family.
