High end comfort for your high end pooch!!!

A vacation for your dog!!!!

A vacation for your dog!!!!


Many people feel awful when they are going away on vacation and have to “kennel” their dog. However, there is a way now that you can go away guilt free, knowing that your pup will be pampered and comfortable. But you will have to pay greatly for it and that is just what some dog owners are willing to do. Luxury pet resorts are getting more and more popular and the services and amenitities they provide are just what your dog needs to be away from you in style!!!

Your dog could be privileged enough to enjoy a luxury suite, 24 hour room service, spa services, private pool facilities and even a personal canine chef for the finicky dog in your life. If you’re concerned about the television your dog is watching, you can specify human or animal focused programming.

The Holiday Barn which has two locations in Virginia has been in business since 1972. They have seen the face of pet boarding change drastically. They offer many services to their “guests” that include 2 x a day room service, various types of luxury suites that are seasonably heated or air condtioned. The spa services would appeal to any pooch looking to be pampered. Some of the services offered include Style and Cut grooming, baths that come with full body massages, anti-shedding treatments, pedicures, special dental attention and of course, the needed expression of the anal glands. (o.k., that doesn’t sound so luxurious, but isn’t it better to have someone besides yourself doing that???!)

Rates vary depending on the type of accomodation you require for your dog as well as any additional services you would want your dog to experience. Check it out!!! The Holiday Barn isn’t the only facility to provide luxury for your dog. If you have the time to look and the money to spend, you can give your dog the vacation of a lifetime while you enjoy yours!!!!
