Something to bark about…

is this company’s catch phrase when it comes to pets in their hotels!

For many of us dog owners, we find it difficult to go on even a small weekend vacation, because we dread having to leave our much-loved furry friends behind with a sitter. Too, when it comes to special occasions and family affairs, they are practically counted as a guest. Laura, Jack, and….oh, yeah, Spud! So, where is a place you can go to have your wedding ceremony and reception AND have your dog be included in some of the festivities, or even walk you down the aisle?

KIMPTON HOTELS & RESTAURANTS is a leader in the boutique hotel industry, offering a VIP (Very Important Pets) Program. “Dogs, cats, monkeys, birds….[they] love them all. Pets are all welcome at any Kimpton Hotel. [They] understand that pets are part of the family and need vacations, too. From welcome amenities, to pet psychics, and packages designed to pamper and spoil, [they] provide the same elements of care, comfort, style, flavor, and fun that [they] give to humans.”

KIMPTON HOTELS have done their research and found that according to the American Veterinary Medical Association’s latest studies, 53.8 percent of all households in the United States own at least one pet. And their survey on U.S. Pet Ownership and Demographics states, “Pets were considered family members by 46.9 percent of all pet-owning households.”
