SF hotels have gone to the dogs
The Bureau provided figures from the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association that 63% of U.S. households own a pet and they spent US$40.8 billion on their pets. According to a current TripAdvisor survey of more than 1,100 travellers (and more than 700 pet owners), just over half of people with pets travel with their furry friends.
New facilities in San Francisco offer everything from swimming pools, massages, and group playtime to keep visiting pets happy and healthy.
For example, Hotel Diva features a “Dogs are Divas” overnight package that includes a soft throw rug for a luxurious nights’ sleep.
A personal identification tag, treats and a one-hour VIP dog walk tour is included in the US$250 deposit and US$75 nonrefundable cleaning fee. The W Hotel offers a “P.A.W. Program” for cats and dogs. This package includes freshbaked biscuits and assistance from the concierge on arranging pet sitting, walking, grooming and veterinarian services.
The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, offers a pet package for dogs that weigh less than 10 pounds that includes an inroom dining menu featuring a Bow Wow buffet.
The Wag Hotel (no owners allowed) offers a la carte services which include swimming, extra walks, special food and playtime for $5 to $25 extra per day. Spa services include massages, blueberry facials, and “paw-dicures.” Sigh! Wish you were a dog sometimes.
