Washingtonians can now drop their pooches off at a pet hotel that caresfor their friendly canines in a five-star environment.
In the lobby of the PetSmart PetHotel, which just opened in theWashington suburb of Bethesda, the pets' human "parents" line up toplunk down 23 dollars plus taxfor each night their pooch stays.
The doggie hotel is nothing like kennels of yore: in this inn there is lactose-free icec嘉義外送茶,ream, indoor recreation, and for 10 more dollars a night, pooch can stayin a "suite" with a television set showing an "animal related movie allday," said Vince Malanaphy, who manages the PetsHotel.
"It helps them to relax and to adjust as they are used to hearing TV athome," Malanaphy says.
In one "suite" a little white poodle named Bijou is lost in the embraceof Morpheus with "Little Nemo" and his cartoon friends swi妹妹ing by in aneternal loop on the TV set.
A stay at "Doggie Day Camp" without the overnight goes for 20 dollarsthe day.
Half of the boarders come every day. "It's better than leaving them athome alone," said Cyra, one of the pet "mothers," as she drops off herLabrador and her poodle for Day Camp before running off to the office.Here "they can socialize," she said.
Meredith, in charge of animal recreation, says that if dogs "areaggressive or play too rough, we give them a time out in a cage" for 15minutes. "After twice, they get the message," she says.
The Bethesda site has room for 180 dogs and 26 cats. Cats stay in[color=#808000>plexiglass兒童玩具[/url],配有電视機的套房，赏识“全天放映的動物题材片子”。
玛拉娜菲说：“這可讓它们放松、并顺应這里的情况，由于它们在家里就常看電视。”
住在一间套房里的一只名叫Bijou的白毛狮子狗被電视里放的《小尼摩梦纪行》弄的昏頭昏脑，内里的卡通人物不绝的“遊来荡去”。
在“狗狗日间依靠營”呆上一天但不外夜必要耗费20美元。
有一半的投止狗天天都来。一名名叫塞拉的“狗妈妈”天天上班以前都要把她的拉布拉多猎狗和狮子狗送到這里来，她说：“把它们送到這里比讓它们本身呆在家里强多了。在這里，它们可以举行‘社會来往’。”
寵物文娱的卖力人梅雷迪思说，若是它们“不听话或撒泼，咱们會就它们在笼子里呆上15分钟。两次以后，它们就大白了。”
這家位于比瑟达的寵物旅店可以或许容纳180只狗和26只貓。貓住PLAY娛樂城在被称為“貓咪别墅”的树脂玻璃笼子里，“房价”為每晚14美元（含税），此中包含15分钟的“爱抚”用度。
总部设在亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市的PetSmart团體在三年前就提出了創辦寵物旅店的设法，公司讲话人布鲁斯·理查德森说：“這是寵物業‘成长最快的一個行業’，咱们如今共有32家分店，到2010年，但愿能到达240家。”
