Spa Paws Hotel to Open in Fort Worth, TX

Spa Paws Hotel is opening this month in Fort Worth, TX and is set to replace the Pooch Hotel in Sunnyvale, CA as the most expensive and luxurious pet hotel in the nation. The $4.4 million 'resort' boasts pets-only rooms (no human guests allowed) with no cages or kennels, custom upholstered beds, and chenille and satin blankets complete with nightly turn-down service. It also has a state-of-the-art Wellness Center, a spa, and a shopping boutique. The Wellness Center provides both preventative and prescription treatments, depending on your pets needs, and specializes in Eastern medicine including acupressure and massage. The spa offers all the usual grooming services plus treats like aromatherapy, reflexology, and doggie facials, and (if you or your pet are in the mood to do a little shopping) you can find couture dog and cat fashions, collars, and accessories at the boutique.
Other features include a driving service for pick-up/drop-off, breed-specific areas for improved care and animal welfare, and an atrium with natural lighting and robotic squirrels for entertainment. Sounds so idyllic, even from a human perspective, that your pet might not want to go home with you when you come back from your vacation. Let the good times roll for $65 - $200 per night.

Wow!! This is so cool, I cannot imagine spending $200 per night for my dog to relax. I just wonder, if there is no human guest allowed, do these dogs feel lonely and scared? Do they really enjoy the SPA and everything? I don't have a dog myself, so maybe I don't understand something.

I am thinking of opening up a chain of luxury restrooms for those who like to flush their money down the toilet in style. Video is optional and of course will cost extra.

I can see people wanting to take care of the pets they love, but what a waste, pet facials?!
If you have that kind of money to burn, why not donate to a food bank, there's a lot of hurting folks out there right now.
