Old Dog, New Tricks is a 2025 Spanish comedy series directed by Alberto de Toro and Víctor García León, following a financially struggling rural veterinarian who must reinvent himself working at an upscale urban pet boutique — a sharp, warm-hearted look at class, pride, and unlikely second chances.
What is Old Dog New Tricks about?
Antón has spent his career treating livestock and farm animals in the Spanish countryside, but mounting debts force him to accept a job at a high-end urban pet store catering to wealthy clients and their pampered companions. Suddenly he must learn an entirely different language — premium nutrition plans, boutique grooming, and the very particular anxieties of city pet owners — while navigating colleagues who regard him as hopelessly out of step. The show mines genuine comedy from the collision between Antón's no-nonsense rural sensibility and the absurdities of an industry built on indulgence, without ever reducing its characters to simple punchlines. Beneath the workplace humor runs a real current of dignity and reinvention.
Cast & crew
Luis Zahera leads as Antón, bringing grounded, deadpan energy to the fish-out-of-water premise. Lucía Caraballo and Carmen Ruiz round out a strong ensemble alongside Antonio Durán 'Morris', Nuno Gallego, Darío Loureiro, Adrián Viador, and Sergio Abelaira — a cast drawn largely from Galician and Spanish film and television with sharp comic timing.
Context & significance
