Australia's first pet-friendly hotel group, Ovolo, has announced an exciting extension of its popular pet accommodation package, V.I.Pooch, in collaboration with Waggly. To celebrate International Dog Day (26th August, 2022) and our pooch pals, guests who book the package throughout the month of September will receive an exclusive Waggly Club Box in their room pack, including a selection of healthy dog treats and premium dog toys.

Ovolo introduced its V.I.Pooch package in 2020, becoming the first hotel group in Australia to welcome guests and their fur babies to stay, following the rise in Aussies wishing to travel with their pets.

The one-of-a-kind luxury package is available at all of Ovolo's Australian hotels all year round, offering pet owners an indulgent experience, complete with amenities (and treats!) to pamper their pooch like a true VIP.

Stephen Howard, Group Director of Marketing at Ovolo, says: “Since 2020, all of our hotels have been pet-friendly, and we were proudly the first Australian hotel group to offer an innovative package like V.I.Pooch for Aussies seeking a premium accommodation experience with their pets in tow.

“The demand for our V.I.Pooch package continues to grow, and we're always looking for unique opportunities to enhance the experience for our guests and their furry friends. Which is why we're excited to be partnering with Waggly to offer extra treat when they stay with us in September!”

Ovolo's package includes a comfortable doggy bed where your pooch can snuggle and relax like they deserve, an eating/drinking mat so they can feast in style without the hassle of cleaning that post-meal mess, a doggy goody bag packed full of specially designed dog toys and treats, and dog-friendly staff ready to provide guests with any assistance needed.

And of course, with any direct booking guests will still have access to all of Ovolo's signature Perks, including a free mini bar in room, complimentary breakfast options, superspeed Wi-Fi, social hour, and the guest favourite Loot bags, plus more.

Experience a world full of wonder at Ovolo Hotels – and bring your pooch too. Guests can book the V.I.Pooch package directly: https://ovolohotels.com/ovolo/offers/v-i-pooch/
