Pet owners in Boston have some great new options when it comes to leaving their four legged companions when they go out of town. And no, we are not talking about pet sitters or, perish the thought, kennels, but rather plush, lush, four-star pet resorts.
Take for instance the new Urban Hound, a boutique hotel and day care center for dogs or the Boston Red Dog Pet Resort and Spa. But my favorite--based solely on the name--Fenway Bark, which also happens to be the most expensive.
The suite at Urban Hound is $65/night while the room rates at Fenway Bark go up to $150/night. But who's quibbling? Only the best for our pets. According to a report by Packaged Facts, demand for luxury pet lodging is on the rise, which does not mean the run of the mill kennel.
"Their children are growing up and moving out," says Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Products Association. "And as helicopter parents, they need to find something else to hover over." Guess who? The dog of course, who probably has never been without human contact!
I wonder if that Fenway Bark suite comes with a view of the stadium or a baseball to chew on? Probably just a hot dog or two but I can sense a trend. Citizens Bank Bark anyone?
