Cash-strapped vet Antón takes a job at a fancy pet store, going from treating rural farm animals to peddling premium treats for pampered pooches.
What critics are saying
Old Dog, New Tricks has received generally positive feedback from critics, who highlight its deadpan tone and entertaining fish-out-of-water setup. Reviewers enjoy the comedy generated by Antón, a rural veterinarian whose financial struggles force him into a luxury pet boutique, creating plenty of clash with pampered pets and their overly sentimental owners.
Critics particularly praise the lead dynamics and unique quirkiness of the show, noting that the central performances elevate the material. While some reviewers feel the series has room to grow to reach its full potential, the dissonance between Antón's serious background and the absurdities of high-end pet care delivers a consistently amusing character-driven comedy.
“a sharp, character-centered comedy about the friction that occurs when a man who has spent his life speaking the language of animals is forced to negotiate with their bewilderingly sentimental human owners”
“The show has a unique quirkiness to it that lends itself to Antón and Uxía as leads, making the vet cases they tackle and their personal lives hilarious and interesting”
“The main source of humor in “Old Dog, New Tricks” will not lie exclusively in the script, but in the dissonance the audience will experience watching an actor of his stature confront the absurdities of a luxury pet store.”
