Dog owners often face a dilemma before travelling: leave your beloved pet with a sitter or at a kennel? Both require quite some planning and logistics, which can be stressful and time-consuming for fur parents.
Rome’s Fiumicino International Airport has sought to streamline the process by opening one of the first on-site hotels at a major European airport, following a similar initiative in Frankfurt. Dog Relais’ workers even retrieve pups from the terminal so travellers can proceed straight to their flight.
Basic rooms at the dog hotel cost about $47 and feature temperature-controlled floors and private gardens. At night, ambient music that has a frequency with a low, soft tone - 432 hertz - designed for relaxation is piped in through the rooms’ speakers.
There are optional extras that range from the usual grooming, bathing and cleaning teeth services, to the more indulgent, such as aromatherapy with lavender or peppermint scents to help induce calm, or arnica cream rubbed into aching muscles and joints.
Owners can also go for a $70 premium room equipped with a screen for round-the-clock video calls. They can even pamper their pet by tossing a treat via an application connected to a dispenser. The facility not only provides its services to travellers, but also to dog owners who need daycare.
