High net worth pets get VIP treatment

The beloved dogs and cats of high net worth individuals can now recieve just as preferential a service as their minted owners.

The Manadrin Oriental Hotel in Miami is offering an MO Pets Program, providing luxurious pet offerings from special menus and pet turn-down service to play dates and grooming services.

When pets check into the hotel, they are given a souvenir golden collar tag. Pets get a plush bed, a bone-shaped place mat with food and water bowls, special edible treats and bottled water in their room upon arrival.

Pets are provided with first-class turn-down service, just like their owners. Should a guest decide to share their dining experience with their pet, the hotel offers a special pet menu through in-room dining including delectable selections such as grilled beef tenderloin, grilled organic Chicken breast and even gourmet desserts.

“Being one of the few pet-friendly hotels in Miami, it is our pleasure to provide personalized pet offerings and services,” said a spokesman at the hotel. “We aim to provide all our guests with Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service – regardless of whether they arrive on two or four legs!”

The service costs £56 for deep room cleaning.
