Hot Digs for Haute Dogs

By Pardhasaradhi Gonuguntla

Riviera Maya, Mexico – Beloved lap dogs hop into the lap of luxury at Paraiso de la Bonita with the Haute Dog Package, where small dogs up to 22 pounds get the red carpet treatment with gourmet chow, Thalassotherapy baths, a personal attendant, and chauffeured transportation. If puppy love strikes during a haute dog holiday, the resort will put on a dog wedding complete with bow vows, paw rings and beach ceremony without the hassle of minimum stays, blood tests or restrictions on same-sex unions.

The Haute Dog Package includes a luxury welcome kit, a gourmet meal of beef tenderloin with mixed vegetables or chicken with a liver purée, and daily dog walking for $105 per dog, per stay. When it comes time to wind down, pups head to a doggie spa day with grooming, thalassotherapy bath and a massage inspired by the resort’s Anti-Aging,
Thalasso and Wellness Center , the only certified Thalassotherapy Spa in North America , for $199.

Options include the services of a pet wedding coordinator to arrange a customized pet union complete with bow vows, paw rings and beach ceremony; birthday cakes; premium water from the resort’s water cellar; dog sitting, and vet services.

Among other activities puppies enjoy during their stay is the daily afternoon tea in the Bird’s Lounge where resident parrots greet guests with a friendly hello.

Special touches offered by Paraiso de la Bonita are uniquely-designed “Pet in Room” door knob signs, and private round-trip transportation for doggie and owner in one of
Paraiso’s fleet of Lincoln Navigators, stocked with CD library (Snoop Dogg anyone?) and bowls of fresh water.
