Hot digs for haute dogs?

Tuesday, 24 Jun, 2008 0

Lap dogs leap into the lap of luxury at Paraiso de la Bonita in Riviera Maya, Mexico, with the “Haute Dog Package,” where small dogs up to 22 pounds get the red carpet treatment.

What that means is with gourmet chow, Thalassotherapy baths, a personal attendant, and chauffeured transportation. 

But that is not all.

“If puppy love strikes during a haute dog holiday, the resort will put on a dog wedding complete with bow vows, paw rings and beach ceremony without the hassle of minimum stays, blood tests or restrictions on same-sex unions,” says the hotel.

The Haute Dog Package includes a luxury welcome kit, a gourmet meal of beef tenderloin with mixed vegetables or chicken with a liver purée, and daily dog walking for $105 per dog, per stay. 

When it comes time to wind down, pups head to a doggie spa day with grooming, thalassotherapy bath and a massage for $199. 

Options include the services of a pet wedding coordinator to arrange a customized pet union complete with bow vows, paw rings and beach ceremony; birthday cakes; premium water from the resort’s water cellar; dog sitting, and vet services. 

Among other activities puppies enjoy during their stay is the daily afternoon tea in the Bird’s Lounge where resident parrots greet guests with a friendly hello.
