Dog hotel offers five-star care
The first complete care resort for dogs has been opened
If you never really enjoy your holiday because you’re concerned about the canine best friend you’ve left behind, a holiday centre in Newcastle may have the answer.
Among the many facilities it is offering is a web cam so that owners can keep a check on their pets.
The centre also offers hours of fun for canine guests, who enjoy 24-hour attention – long walks, use of the hydrotherapy pool, agility or flyball training.
The Triple A resort, owned jointly by PetCARECo and the food company Mars, says it wants to establish a branded chain of “one-stop” pet care centres across the country, each providing all the services pet owners need to help them look after their pets at one place.
A new centre is expected to open in Leeds in the second half of 2002.
“We offer a level of care which is as good as or better than the pet would get at home, ” said marketing manager Ken Blackburn.
