10 Blissful Retreats to Delight Your Doggie

Hate to part with your puppy? Looking for a getaway that you can both enjoy? I f you're like my family, we dread having to put our dog into a kennel when we go away.  Because Rory (our 2 year old golden doodle) is an important member of our family, we worry about her while we're away, and often wish that she could join us on vacation!

Apparently we're not alone, because according to the Travel Industry Association of America, half of the approximately 60 million pet owners in the U.S. take their dogs along on weekend getaways, while nearly one-third take them on longer trips. Recognizing this trend, a growing number of luxury properties have developed programs to delight our doggies.

As the client (that's you!) of a Virtuoso member (that's me!), you'll have exclusive access to amenities at "posh and pet-friendly hotels", enabling you to "pamper your pooch with the same red-carpet treatment that human guests receive, including special amenities such as turndown service in custom-made beds, homemade treats, fun toys - even en-suite canine massages."  Here are ten "Posh Stays for Pampered Pooches" as described in Virtuoso Insights.
