KERRY BROWN: Our clients can spend thousands
of dollars with us and really it is just to make sure their dog gets the very best of the best.
COMM: Welcome to the D Pet hotel, New York’s most luxurious hotel.
COMM: For dogs.
KERRY BROWN: D Pet hotels offers three main
services: overnight boarding, day care and spa and grooming services.
KERRY BROWN: Probably the most unique thing about
our space is that dogs get to stay in suites as opposed to cages or kennels.
We have dogs that come in for day care, for parents who are attorneys or bankers or actors
or students here in the city.
KERRY BROWN: You know, we have got a pop star princess who uses us to a famous movie actor,
so we are fortunate to get to cater to that clientele as well. Follow me and I’m going
to show you around our boarding facilitates.
KERRY BROWN: This here is our standard suite and this is sweet Gigi who is modelling for
us. Hi momma, hi good girl, hi! It will come with a little orthopaedic dog bed as well
as a flat screen TV to keep the dog’s company.
KERRY BROWN: Next we have our sensational suite. This always comes with a raised day
bed and a little mattress just to make it feel as much like home as possible. And these
here are our uber suites, which are like nicer than my bedroom at home. They have a full
size bed, 42-inch flat screen TV; all the comforts of a proper bedroom.
KERRY BROWN: This is the crème de la crème.
We have got a lot of regular clients who only will use the uber suite for their dog because
they want their dog to feel as much like home as possible.
RONALD GARDNER: It’s fun, you know. You
hang out with dogs all day. Make sure that they are, you know, taken care of, make
sure they are fed, make sure medications are properly... Pretty much you just kind of hang
out with them, make sure that they are kept happy when their owners aren’t around.
KERRY BROWN: Nacho!
ELIANA GOLDMAN: Hi! KERRY BROWN: Hey, how are you guys?
ELIANA GOLDMAN: My husband and I used D Pet
hotels because we love the service that it provides. The minute you walk in the door,
everyone is smiling, they greet your puppy as though it was the only one here in day
care and it feels good, you know when you go to work and you have nobody to watch, you
know, your puppy, to know that he or she is in really good hands.
ELIANA GOLDMAN: They don’t just accept any
dog, you have to come and take a temperament test. So to know that, you know, your dog
is not just playing with the, you know, any random like hooligan, he is with refined and
tempered dogs. I love the fact that Nacho has passed the temperament test and it is
part of the canine elite. Yeah, it feels good, knowing that I’m raising a nice gentleman, right?
LADY: Hey Maisie, here is your room service.
KERRY BROWN: Our most exclusive clients demand all a variety of things for their dogs. Certainly,
they have very catered meals for them, whether it’s fresh chicken with rice and vegetables,
certain times of day where we have to walk the dog, even if it’s that, that’s in
the middle of the night. We've even had to like place treats on the dog’s pillow before
bed time. It’s just a fun positive place to be when you’re around dogs all day.
RONALD GARDNER: No, I don’t think it’s
silly to give them such a nice place to stay, you know. I think if we were dogs, we would
want to stay in a nice place as well. We should be treating them the way that we would want
to be treated. So, the fact that we can provide something like this is sweet, it's nice.
KERRY BROWN: New Yorkers are busy. A lot of,
a lot of New Yorkers have chosen not to have children and their dog is their child. And
with that, here at the hotel, we work to create a home away from home for dogs. Parents know
when they bring their dog here that they can expect the very best for their dog and that
we’re going to treat them just like their family.
