Dog owners often face a dilemma before travelling: should they leave their beloved pet with a sitter or at a kennel? Both options require considerable planning and logistics, which can be stressful and time-consuming for fur parents.
In an effort to streamline this process, Rome’s Fiumicino International Airport has opened one of the first on-site dog hotels at a major European airport, following a similar initiative in Frankfurt. The Dog Relais staff even retrieve pups directly from the terminal, allowing travellers to proceed straight to their flights without worry.
Basic rooms at the dog hotel cost about $47 and feature temperature-controlled floors and private gardens. At night, ambient music tuned to a low, soft 432 hertz frequency—designed to promote relaxation—is played through the room’s speakers to help soothe the dogs.
There are also several optional extras available. These range from the usual grooming, bathing, and teeth cleaning services to more indulgent treatments such as aromatherapy with lavender or peppermint scents to help induce calm. Additionally, arnica cream can be applied to aching muscles and joints for extra comfort.
For owners seeking a premium experience, a $70 room option is available. These rooms are equipped with a screen that enables round-the-clock video calls, allowing owners to check in on their pets anytime.
The facility not only serves travellers but also caters to dog owners who need daycare services. This innovative approach offers peace of mind and convenience to pet parents on the go.
