Dogs at Cardiff’s iconic five-star hotel are set to be even more pampered, as voco St David’s Cardiff announces a brand-new Doggy Spa Day, designed exclusively for its four-legged guests.
The hotel’s award-winning spa will offer a range of indulgent treatments tailored to help pups unwind, de-stress and feel their very best.
The specially curated “pup treatments” include pawdicures with gentle nail filing and balm application, soothing tail massages, “wet nose hydration therapy”, and dedicated sessions in the hydro pool – carefully adjusted to the perfect doggy paddle temperature.
Cardiff hotel launches luxury spa day experience for dogs
For those looking for the ultimate relaxation, the experience also includes access to the spa’s relaxation lounge, where dogs can stretch out on plush loungers and enjoy a selection of complimentary treats from the hotel’s much-loved Doggy All Day Menu.
Phil Bailey, Spa Manager at voco St David’s Cardiff, said:
“We’re always looking for ways to enhance our guest experience, and after the success of our dog-friendly offering, it only felt right to extend that into the spa. Dogs live busy lives – long walks, constant tail wagging, guarding the house – so this is all about giving them a chance to truly switch off.
“We’ve carefully developed each treatment with our four-legged guests in mind, from calming environments to treatments that support their wellbeing. And of course, plenty of treats along the way.”
The Doggy Spa Day builds on the hotel’s growing reputation as one of the UK’s most dog-friendly luxury destinations, with its popular Pooch Package, in-room dog amenities, and dedicated Doggy All Day Menu already a hit with visiting pups and their owners.
The experience is available for one day only – April 1st – with limited spaces available.
