\"12<\/a>The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa is one of the first hotels to have recognized the special bond between pets and their owners, in accommodating pets with sleeping arrangements, but also in terms of a new special gourmet Pets’ Menu!<\/p>\n

Twelve Apostles Executive Chef Christo Pretorius\u00a0has worked closely with the Panorama Veterinary Clinic & Specialist Centre, to develop its brand new Pet Menu. \u00a0The pampered pets may dine in their room via Room Service, or in The Leopard Bar. The ‘Bark-A-Licious’<\/em> menu for small dogs offers Beef Fillet with potato wedges and gravy; \u00a0or ostrich mince with cooked oats, flax seeds, fresh apple, and dried cranberries. ‘The Purrfect Choice’<\/em> \"12<\/a>menu for cats includes salmon trout and scrambled eggs; or poached chicken breast with flax seeds, potato, garden peas, and chicken consomm\u00e9. \u00a0The Pets’ Menu peaks at R105.<\/p>\n

Regular visitors to the hotel are Barbara Lenhard of Opulent Living, and her cross Labrador\/Staffie\/Boxer Joya. She said about the pet service of the hotel: ‘The way they treat the dog and its owners, that’s why I love taking Joya there. The moment we walk in together they greet me and Joya by name. It’s hilarious but they make the experience all worth it’.<\/em><\/p>\n

The hotel’s resident cat Ingwe welcomes the pet guests, which stay for free in special pet-friendly suites, with their own beds with bedding and blankets in their owners’ rooms. They receive a special Pet Welcome Note & Pack when they check-in. Special services offered are pet-walking, pet-sitting, a midnight feast, or special pet supplies.<\/p>\n

The Pet Tourism trend is so big that JF Kennedy airport has announced that it is building ‘The Ark<\/i>‘ pet airport, at which passengers traveling with their pets can be accommodated. Special services will include splash pools and ‘pawdicures<\/i>‘!<\/p>\n

Bea Tollman, the founder and President of the Red Carnation Hotels group, travels with her own two dogs when visiting the hotels in the group, all of which are pet-friendly, creating a home-away-from-home for their guests and pets in our country, as well as\u00a0in the USA and UK.<\/p>\n

Diners at Azure in the Twelve Apostles can be assured that pets are not allowed in the hotel restaurant, other than guide dogs. Only well-behaved small and medium-sized cats and dogs are allowed to check in at the Twelve Apostles & Spa!<\/p>\n
