How to create a luxury pet resort experience at home
At AAA Pet Resort, we provide an incomparably luxurious experience for your pets while you are away. This helps them get over that separation anxiety all the easier and can make them feel like they’re on holiday, also. While we wish we could accommodate your pet forever, we know that even the best holidays need to come to an end. Does this mean that luxury experiences do, too?
We don’t think so!
Keep reading to discover what you can do when you’re not on holiday to guarantee your pet always feels like they’re boarding at a luxury pet estate.
Weekly massages are a must
A doggie or a kitty massage may seem a little over-the-top, but did you know it has exceptional benefits for your pets? As well as helping to calm their nerves, pet massages can decrease pain and keep their muscles feeling as good as new. It’s great for pets heading into their senior years that need a little support walking, running and standing for prolonged periods.
You can add an extra dose of luxury to their massages by giving them a warm bath beforehand to ensure your massage gets right into their sore muscles.
Choose high-quality pet food
Just like human food, the pet food you choose can have a major impact on how your pet feels each day. Take your time to look at the current food they eat and delve into the ingredients. A mixture of dry, raw and wet food is best for your pet, and sourcing this from the best brands will ensure they have the energy they need to chase more toys and tails each day.
If your pet is a fussy eater and doesn’t like specific types of food, adding as much variety to their diet as possible or choosing pet supplements will put a pep in their step.
Plenty of grooming and styling at home “luxury pet resort”
Your pet feels their best when they look their best. So, it’s time to say goodbye to dirt, knotty fur and overgrown hair by committing to grooming them frequently.
Grooming doesn’t need to involve an entire bath, nail trim and blow-dry, either. Even a brush every few days is enough to keep them happy.
If you feel like getting the shampoo out, we always recommend following care specific to your pet’s coat. For example, it may be best to avoid the bath in winter for long-hair breeds, unless you are using a hairdryer afterwards. Otherwise, they may feel cold and unluxurious in the hours following.
Spend time with their friends
Socialising is a big part of a pet’s life and something they often experience when they are in care at a luxury pet resort (with your permission, of course). Setting up regular puppy or kitty play dates can confirm your pet is enriched and has all their social needs met. Not to worry if your pet isn’t friendly with other animals. They can still get plenty of enrichment from curling up next to their favourite human!

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Twin Share and Private during pet boarding?
Each of our five room options can be booked as either a Twin Share or a Private, so it’s still the same room, the option just depends on if your dog would like to have the room to them self or if they’d prefer to share that room with a friend. With dogs who do not live together at home, we will only board two dogs together at any one time, except under special circumstances, in which case you would be notified about the situation prior to boarding.
How do you match the dogs for Twin Share?
If you have a dog who thoroughly enjoys the company of another dog, the Twin Share option may be suitable. We match dogs in the Twin Share option according to size and temperament, so if you have a small, calm dog, your dog would be matched with another dog who is small, who would like to integrate but not be too over the top during play. If you have a large, playful dog, your dog would be matched to someone who wouldn’t mind playing the day away with your dog. There are endless combinations of pet traits.
Is there always a dog match available at your pet resort?
There are instances where you may book your dog into a Twin Share room, but we may not have a dog boarding with us during that time who is suitable to share the room with your dog (Eg. Dogs got alone but one was much more playful than the other). If this occurs, we will be in touch with you to let you know that we weren’t able to find a match. When dogs are matched up, sometimes the dates that their booking goes for does not align. Your dog may be here for seven days, and their initial match may only be here for the first three days. The introduction process begins again once their first match has left.
What is the introduction process for the dog boarding?
We are very particular about which dogs share with one another, and our introduction process can take up to 3 or 4 hours. It’s most certainly not something we take lightly as we must ensure that both guests will feel comfortable being with one another during their stay. If there are any signs of anti-social behaviour from either dog, the introduction progress is ceased immediately.
If your dog has never boarded with us before, it’s highly recommended to book them a Private room so that you know the room is readily available for them to have them self should they require it. It’s very easy for us to change to a Twin Share, but due to availability, it’s not always easy for us to do it the other way around. Please get in touch with us if you’re unsure about which option is best for your dog.
Why are vaccinations important in Boarding Kennels or Pet Resorts on the Gold Coast?
If you’re looking for cat or dog boarding on the Gold Coast, your pet will be required to have current vaccination records. A good dog hotel on the Gold Coast will always protect all its canine and feline guests by making sure they are all up-to-date on their shots and healthy. Puppies and kittens require three initial vaccinations when they’re very young and then annual booster vaccinations and check-ups for life. Our requirements are C5 in dogs, and F3 in cats, and these vaccinations need to be conducted within the last 12 months, but not within 10 days of the arrival date to our resort. Be sure to ask your vet if you have any questions about your pet’s full protection and contact our friendly team to find out more about the vaccination requirements.
