Taipei’s Pet Dogs Living It Up At Hotel
In Taipei, Taiwan there are a few luxury hotels that have gone to the dogs, literally. In an attempt to help keep people from dumping their dogs due to lack of time and space you can now bring them to a hotel complete with suites and pools. This isn’t quite as altruistic as it sounds, there is a price.
To get your dog a day of fun you’ll pay the equivalent of $14 a day, which is quite affordable to the more affluent Taipei family. The price includes food, swimming, walks, and more.
Here are the details from Reuters.
It’s just like day care for children,” said Kevin Lin, a former Wall Street employee who now owns the luxury Pet’s Dream Park hotel. “A major reason I opened this business is to ease the stray dog problem.”
Rescue shelters and private individuals in Taipei also offer basic pet boarding services, but Pet’s Dream Park and its suburban competitor, Little Treasure Pet Lodging and Comfort School, offer a deluxe alternative.
