Ultimate luxury holidays for dogs



The ultimate holiday for dogs – a luxury fortnight on the North Somerset coast costing a reported £47,000 per pet – has been launched.

Guests at the Paw Seasons canine holiday resort will enjoy pampering at Harrods, a reiki masterclass and their own private suite with all mod-cons.

Features include a screen showing films such as Lassie and 101 Dalmations with dog-friendly popcorn to chew on.

To make them feel at home, each dog will be given its own, custom-made doghouse - a replica of their owner's home.

Outdoor activities include a surfing lesson and a run along the beach with Dai Greene, the 400m hurdle Commonwealth & World Champion.

While a spa and grooming session at the Harrod's Pet Spa will involve an aromatherapy bath and body masssage, a wash and fluff dry and even a pedicure.

Paw Seasons guests will be dressed nose to tail in a luxury wardrobe of Louis Vuitton collar, Bottega Veneta lead and Mulberry mac.

Even the lucky dog's spiritual wellbeing will be attended to, with reiki sessions on offer from Rob Fellow, a practitioner and a Master Teacher Member of the UK Reiki Federation.

And dog behavioural expert and author Stan Rawlinson will be on hand to discourage any spoilt tendancies.

The £47,000 package includes a £8,400 donation to Battersea Dogs Home and Cancer Research.
