New Year’s Eve with rockets being fired and loud noises can be a frightening time for many dogs and other animals. That’s why a hotel just outside Östersund has decided to open a dog spa where dogs, together with their mother and master, can come to enjoy a rocket-free twelve stroke.
– There is an airport further away, so you can’t set off either firecrackers or fireworks here, says TV4 Nyheternas reporter Marcus Noterius who was on site at the hotel.
Linnéa Mattsson is responsible for the hotel’s dog spa, and explained how it works.
– When you enter the lobby, we start by offering some non-alcoholic bubbly, and then the doggy has a small dog bar with both candy and chews, says Linnéa.
Massages are also offered
At the spa, the dogs not only get to enjoy the fact that it is rocket-free, but they can also get a massage. Maja Bohlin is a dog masseuse, and told us about how the treatment works.
– The execution itself is very similar to that of humans, however, the communication is a little different, says Maja.
Next in line for the massage is the dog Frans.
– He will probably like it, says owner Jonas Ljung.
