America’s Most Expensive Boarding Kennel

It’s great to be able to provide your pooch with the trappings of luxury, but what happens when you leave home for that 12-day cruise from Barcelona to Venice? Well, if you happen to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can lodge your canine companion at the most expensive boarding kennel in the US.

Owners who choose to board their dogs at the Pooch Hotel in Sunnyvale, Calif., have four different options that run from $50/night to $100/night. Both the Presidential (9’ by 9’ for $75/night) and Palace Suites (12’ by 10’ and 20’ by 15’ for $100/night) are equipped with flat panel televisions, webcams and luxury bedding. The Palace Suites are located in their own wing, in case your pampered pup is shy or elderly, and have the added luxury of raised bedding.

The Pooch Hotel also offers swim, treadmill and underwater treadmill sessions, as well as six week classes, holistic diet consultations and aromatherapy baths at the “Spaw.”
