5-star Hotel for dogs

In a country, where there are millions of people who live below the poverty line & are unable to get two square meals a day to fill their stomach, there are creches & daycare centres for dogs, there are Home-Care Dog Food services that caters to the dogs only, where dog's get home delivery of food as per their likes, dislikes, allergies etc. If that was not enough, here is also a hotel / Centre known as "Kennel1" in Gurgaon city near to New-Delhi, capital of India & this centre is equipped with an AC room, a common kitchen with a cook, a swimming pool exclusively for dogs and two floors of meticulously sanitized 14-15 kennels — where each dog is given a private sleeping area.

All this comes at a cost of Rs 200-250 per day. But more and more owners who love their dogs — and make no bones about it — are opting to book their canine companions into Gurgaon's Kennel1.

Like any 'regular' hotel, Kennel1 comes with a pick-up and drop facility for its clients in Delhi and the NCR region. A chauffeur driven air-conditioned Toyota Innova or a Wagon R are used for the purpose. The charges vary as per the distance. For instance a Noida pickup costs Rs 400 as compared to Rs 300 from Delhi.

Once inside, dogs can expect the very best. The hotel is equipped with 7-8 dog handlers who give 24 hour care and company to their canine guests. During activity time like training, grooming, eating, swimming, agility exercises and general walking: the canines are always accompanied by handlers, who give them individual attention to avoid infighting.
