There’s no doubt about it — today’s pets are spoiled. Sometimes we spoil our furry babies more than we spoil our children.
Traveling is no exception.
From doggie massages to organic treats to a pet psychic, these are some of the most over-the-top pet amenities in the world.
1. Canine Massage

The Belmond Hotel Splendido and Splendido Mare in Portofino, Italy, gives a whole new meaning to “couples massage.” While you are enjoying five-star treatments, your pooch is, too. The property’s canine massage promises to release any tension and promote holistic wellness. The services don’t stop there; a full-service salon and a private dog taxi are also available.
2. Gourmet Treats

Trump Hotels around the world always ensure that their two-legged guests eat well, but their guests’ loyal furry companions do, too. The Trump Pets program provides in-room dining with irresistible gourmet treats that might even get you drooling. In addition, bottled water and plush toys can be put in your room to make sure your pet is just as happy as you are on vacation.
3. Pet Tapas
