Kimpton Blythswood Square unveils new doggy spa days

A popular hotel and spa in Glasgow has unveiled the perfect treat idea for pet lovers – spa days for dogs to enjoy with their owners.

Described as the "Ultimutt Treat", Kimpton Blythswood Square will be offering the new pup-centred wellness experience for a limited time, with the spa days on offer to both hotel residents and non-residents alike between January 3 and 31.

The hotel team say dogs will be able to rest up in their cosy bed in a state of blissful relaxation while their owner gets the chance to wind down with some much-needed R&R.

And once the pet parent is fully relaxed after enjoying either a 30-minute express facial or massage, it’s the turn of the pup to be pampered, as their owner is taught how to give the perfect doggy massage by the spa therapist.

Using Edinburgh-based Bark and Hare ’s doggy paw balm - a super soothing infusion of essential oils combined with natural beeswax, shea butter, sweet almond oil and apricot kernel - owners are shown how to rub the balm into tender paws and onto their dog’s nose, keeping them naturally moisturised and nourished to protect them from everyday wear and tear.

Before receiving their very own Bark and Hare balm to ensure the Ultimutt spa experience continues back home.

A further fur-friendly treat of Bark and Hare’s doggy shampoo bar will also be gifted to take away, helping to ensure your pooch maintains a healthy, shiny coat. Gentle on the skin and fragranced with essential oils, the shampoo has fantastic health properties for your dog, and keeps them smelling great too.

General Manager at Kimpton Blythswood Square and dog lover Mafalda Albuquerque said: “We pride ourselves on being Glasgow’s most dog-friendly hotel and anyone who has walked through our doors will no doubt have been given a warm and enthusiastic welcome from our resident pooch and Director of Pet Relations, Bonnar, who is very much the star of the show here.

“But beyond being a place for people to stay with their pets, we go that step further, as shown by our hugely popular PAWfect Stay package.

“As a dog owner, I know all too well pups can become as stressed as humans, and it’s important to take them on a relaxing holiday every now and then too. So, when we were thinking about the most paw-some Christmas gift for our furry friends this festive season, we knew we had to come up with something special.

“I’m very proud to launch The Ultimutt Treat - which I think makes us the number one luxury destination for both dogs and their owners to unwind this winter.”

The Ultimutt Treat is available for both hotel residents and non-residents and is priced at £99.
