Redsonic Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Something everyone on here knows, but the "luxury" pet resort surprised me. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-27/australia-pet-business-grooming-luxury-hotels/105413230 I think if a dog designed it's place at a kennels, it wouldn't look like this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Crappy journalism. The headline asks if we are spending more on our pets. The first line "We don't need the data to tell us what we already know: we're spending more than ever on our pets." Slow news day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I worked at one of those pet resort places a couple years back. They had ONE "deluxe suite" on site... and it certainly didn't look like the ones pictured. In essence, it was a separate building sort of like a converted fancy shed that had a cutesy "bed" thing (read the kind of dog bed that vaguely resembles a human bed) in it instead of the standard trampoline bed in a regular kennel, and it had it's own "courtyard" area. Cleaning that "suite" was a bugger and took longer to do than a regular kennel - especially if the dog housed in it wasn't appropriately toilet trained... ewww! Things may have changed since then, but if they have, I'm tipping that kennel hands hate it due to the extra work involved trying to keep the "suites" presentable and clean.

Funny that the payslip with the minimum wage hourly rate says "Animal Attendant"... which is fancy talk for kennel hand... *grin* T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
