The stretch of Highland Avenue between Santa Monica Blvd. and Melrose Ave. is quickly becoming canine corridor. Already home to upscale doggie daycare and boarding facilities including LA Dogworks and D Pet Hotels, as of this weekend the area will welcome another high-class pup facility, Pooch Hotel.
According to a statement on Pooch Hotel's website, the Hollywood location will feature "custom-made hotel suites with glass doors, a customized exercise pool and...a just-for-dogs spa that features aromatherapy bathing and massage, paw-dicures and Poochberry facials and tooth brushing."
Also available to the pampered Los Angeles puppy will be nutrition plans and exercise areas, and a webcam so owners can monitor their beloved best friend's every leap and bound.
Pooch Hotel has three other locations, two in Chicago and one in Sunnyvale, CA, and the company is owned by Petco. The new Hollywood location is planning opening ceremonies all weekend, including tours of the facility, discounts to those who purchase services in advance, and the opportunity to have a professional photographer capture the glory that is you and your pet together.
Support for LAist comes from
On hand at an opening event tomorrow night, according to City News Service, will be Uggie, the canine star of "The Artist."
As dog people, we are thrilled that our four-legged friends are receiving all this love in the Hollywood area. We just hope that other parts of the city are being equally well-served.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
