What is special about a “dog hotel”?
When choosing accommodation, it is particularly important to check whether dogs are really welcome. Hotels often claim to be dog-friendly, but there are problems with certain issues. If dogs are indeed welcome guests, they are usually allowed everywhere. In addition, there are also one or two offers for the four-legged guests. For example, in Bad Gastein there is the Residenz Gruber, which offers the following for dogs:
- Dogshop with toys, equipment, clothing and treats.
- Dog bowls and blankets in the room
- Dog shower
- Toys in the garden
- Important! Dogs also allowed in the restaurant and cafeteria
- All-round fenced garden
- Dog massage (the package Wellness for 2 legs and 4 paws is often booked)
- Dog walking weeks, ideal of course for singles, for example
- Doga (yoga with dog)
- Dog training
- Dog sitting
- Dog bathing pond and a beautiful sun terrace for masters & mistresses
This means that Residenz Gruber has the largest range of dog holidays in Austria.
