Residencia Canina Doña Nieves

A true institution in northern Tenerife — Residencia Canina Doña Nieves has been caring for dogs for over three decades, making it one of the longest-established boarding kennels on the island. Located in the La Laguna area just 10 minutes from Tenerife North Airport, it's exceptionally convenient for travellers flying in or out. The facility consists of spacious individual kennels with covered outdoor runs, set on a secure rural property with plenty of shade. The decades of experience are evident in the calm, knowledgeable approach of the staff — dogs are assessed individually and grouped for exercise with compatible companions. Long-term boarding is a speciality, and the kennel regularly cares for dogs whose owners are travelling to mainland Spain or elsewhere in Europe. The cooler climate of La Laguna (at approximately 550 m elevation) means dogs are comfortable year-round without the intense heat of the coastal areas. Veterinary contacts nearby. Spanish-speaking staff (some English understood). A basic, honest, no-frills kennel that has earned its reputation through decades of reliable service — strongly recommended for anyone in the north of Tenerife.
