Glasgow hotel launches spa day for dogs so pets and owners can get pampered together

The ultimate spa day for dogs has launched at a popular Glasgow city centre hotel. Pooches and their owners will soon be able to get pampered together at Kimpton Blythswood Square, as the hotel prepares to welcome guests to enjoy The Ultimutt Treat.

The unique canine experience is only running for a limited-time at Glasgow’s only five-star hotel. Available to both hotel residents and non-residents between January 3 and 31, bookings go live from today on the Kimpton Blythswood Square website until December 31.

Spa staff make a fuss over their new four-legged friends at the hotel's new pup-centred wellness experience. Dogs will rest up in their cosy dog bed in a state of blissful relaxation while their owners gets the chance to wind down with some much-needed R&R.

Humans can choose to enjoy a 30-minute express facial - using the award-winning spa’s organic ishga products to achieve a hydrated, glowing complexion - or a 30-minute express massage, targeting key areas of stress or tension after a day spent running about after their energetic hound, with the uplifting seaweed-based oil designed to detoxify and revitalise the body.

And once the pet parent is fully relaxed, 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, 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.

Plus, owners will receive 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.

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 the latest addition to Kimpton Blythswood Square’s unique offering of winter surprises as the luxury hotel enters a new era. Work is currently underway on an extensive reimagination of the Blythswood’s award-winning spa, which will include the addition of a whole new blissful wellness area and unique snowfall feature.

Kimpton Blythswood Square was recently named one of the UK’s top 30 hotels outside of London in Conde Nast Traveller’s 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards.

The Ultimutt Treat is available for both hotel residents and non-residents and is priced at £99. To book directly with the award-winning spa team at the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel or to purchase a gift voucher, visit https://www.kimptonblythswoodsquare.com/thaw
