Paradise Pet Lodge: A resort for your pets in Washington

All pet owners will agree with me when I say that going on a holiday without your pet is one of the toughest things to do. When your darling pooch or cat stares at you with those innocent questioning eyes, you just don’t have the heart to leave. But many times we have no choice and we end up requesting our friends or family to look after our pets while we are away. But now-a-days there are also a variety of pet resorts that promise to pamper your pets while you are away. Paradise Pet Lodge is one such resort that promises to house your dog and give him his own little vacation while you are away. The resort for dogs and cats is located in Woodinville, Washington and caters to the pet owners in the Seattle area and surrounding communities. Spread across 13 acres, this lavish resort will surely make your pet forget about you (at least for awhile). Let your four legged buddy enjoy a rejuvenating treatment at the resorts Pet Spa which is a luxurious and unique canine retreat designed to provide exercise, rehabilitation and relaxation. The Spa features a state of the art 14’by 24’ in-ground, warm salt water pool and a private massage room.
