Pet-friendly Wag-Worthy Weekend on the Upper West Side, NY, NY

Hot off the presses, we’ve just gone live with the latest installment of the Wag-Worthy Weekend for PetSetters on Pet360.com.

New York never looses its ability to stay familiar and yet offer something new around every corner.  Read the full Wag-Worthy article below:

Thirsty (For Affection)?

In DC we found just the thing to fit the bill combining thirst quenching and dogged affection; The Canine Cruise along the Potomac River! You are invited to come on-board with or without a four-legged companion for a ‘howling good time touring Alexandria’s seaport.” Two, 40 minute cruises requiring pets to be leashed at all times on a flat leash no longer than 6 feet (no retractable leashed allowed) departs from the Alexandria, VA dock on Thursday evenings at 7:00 and 8:00 pm. Round trip fare is very affordable at just $15.00 for adults, $9.00 for children and FREE for Fido. Advance ticket purchases are strongly recommended; these are extremely popular tours for visitors and residents alike.

Time to PLAY!

Often I’ll look over to find Beau staring up at the clouds or a plane or a bird and I imagine that he is thinking, ‘Boy that would be fun… I wish I could fly…’

Actually, you may be surprised to find out that Beau is a seasoned flier. Having lived on Nantucket Island for the majority of his life. He became quite accustomed to the routine at the Nantucket Airport and the flights to and from the island, but he’d never been on a helicopter. So given the opportunity to take a ride in a helicopter we jumped at it. Beau loved every second! He was completely engaged in looking out the window to see the sailboats and motor yachts below us, and he was awfully cute in his headphones!

What an amazing crew they have BHS! This luxury pet-friendly executive helicopter service flies executives and pet-toting people eager to skip airport hassles to their meetings or vacations on the coast. They only fly within a 325 mile radius of their home base in Baltimore. Beau thoroughly LOVED his first helicopter ride! It also happened to be my first helicopter ride and I can tell you, I thought it would be bumpy and rough but it was delightful and smooth. Be sure to call ahead for your reservation (or email) and get special tips for your pets’ enjoyment.

One Pooped Pup?

The Jefferson Hotel, one of the LuxuryPAW Member Properties is a historic, boutique, and uniquely pet-friendly hotel that provides the most modern amenities, excellence and, of course, exceptional personalized service. The hotel is designed for people (and dogs) who appreciate an upscale environment and pet-friendly hospitality. Families with pets are never charged an extra fee or deposit. Additionally, any size, weight, shape, or breed of pet is accepted and amenities are provided to support their stay and personalized for each furry visitor. Upon arrival, dog beds and amenities for food and water are placed in your guestroom. If known in advance, a personalized ‘treat’. The concierge desk can provide a detailed dog walking route or if necessary can arrange for one of our hotel staff to walk your dog if necessary. The concierge also has a full assortment of doggie treats and toys for your pet’s enjoyment. All treats contain only human-grade ingredients and do not have salt, sugar or preservatives of any kind.

For the folks who hold the leash, The Jefferson offers complimentary wireless Internet. Several pet-friendly common areas are available throughout the property; The Book Room, (2) cabinet rooms, The Business Center, and the on-site restaurant, Quill provides pet-friendly patio dining, weather permitting.

As I write this entry it is January 20, 2013; Inauguration Day … maybe, if you haven’t taken a pet-friendly trip yet this would be the perfect destination to ‘inaugurate’ your pet to the wonderful world of travel. Let us know how it goes or if you have any questions.

Happy Tails,

Janine and Beau from LuxuryPaw

This episode of ‘The Pet Show with Dr. Katy’  has Beau and I showing Dr. Katy Nelson, DC Vet and The Pet Show hostess extraordinaire,  all around the LuxuryPAW member property, the Westin Tysons Corner.

Beau Introduces Dr. Katy to the ONLY Way To Fly!

When Beau and I were recently in Washington, DC we met with Dr. Katy Nelson and her film crew several times to film some of DC’s finest pet-friendly hotels, restaurants and resources for ‘The Pet Show With Dr. Katy’ on ABC’s Channel 8 in DC.  This segment  above though, was one of our all time favorites…Beau absolutely LOVED his ride in the pet-friendly executive helicopter owned by BHS; Baltimore Helicopter Services (Follow them on Twitter @FLYBHS and Dr. Katy @drkatynelson) …and we’ve decided, (Beau and I) that from now on, this is the only way to fly!

Watch the whole show or slide the time bar at the bottom of the video screen to the 10:31 mark, that is where the LuxuryPAW segment begins and the SKY’s the LIMIT!

Join LuxuryPAW In Committing To These New Years Resolutions – No. 1 FreeKibble Everyday!

Because we have so many new members in the LuxuryPAW community, (THANK YOU ALL) I’ve gone into the way-back machine, (How many of you are old enough to actually remember the ‘way-back’ machine?) to recycle a few blog entries that some may have missed.  I came across this entry and thought it was the perfect way to begin our list of New Years Resolutions for the LuxuryPaw company and for me personally, so here we go with a new resolution every day from now until New Year’s Eve.

No. 1 FreeKibble Everyday!  What’s that you ask?  Read all about this amazing young woman and how you can help to feed shelter pets everyday.  When I wrote this original POSTMimi had an impressive number of meals served…flash forward and as of December 16, 2012 according to the totals page on her website she had provided 1,580,808,580 meals to shelter pets all across the country with the help of HALO and people who FreeKibble.

I resolve to FreeKibble every day of 2013…will you?  How about your Boy Scout/Girl Scout Troop, Your elementary computer class…what a great reason to log-on every day, or even just once a week, how can you take your ten pieces of kibble and multiply them to help shelter pets?????  We’d love to hear about it!!
