Hotels Cater to Canine Guests with Special Menus, Activities and Spa Treatments
Hotels across the United States are recognizing the importance of accommodating furry family members and are going the extra mile to provide special amenities and experiences for canine guests. Here are some of the ways hotels are catering to dogs:
- Special Menus: Hotels like the W Fort Lauderdale are offering canine guests special treats like Barking Bacon Dog Ice Cream, made with bacon, peanut butter, and yogurt.
- Yappy Hours: Some hotels host monthly Yappy Hours, where dogs can enjoy non-alcoholic wine and beer from companies like Pet Winery, providing a fun social experience for both dogs and their owners.
- Luxury Amenities: High-end resorts like the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara provide personalized pet tags, plush beds, organic treats, and bottled water for their canine guests.
- Pet Concierge Services: Many hotels offer pet concierge services that can arrange for dog walking, sitting, grooming, and even provide guides to local dog parks and trails.
- Spa Treatments: Some hotels, like the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego, offer spa treatments tailored for pets, including surf lessons and “Furminator” treatments to reduce shedding.
With more than 60% of US households owning pets and a significant percentage traveling with them, hotels that embrace pet-friendly policies and amenities can attract a larger customer base and enhance the overall guest experience. It’s a win-win for both humans and their beloved four-legged companions.
