No space was available in dog hotels in Sofia during the holidays and users have to book a room for their pet well in advance.

Demand for so-called pet hotels is very high, according to Graf hotel, which also has a dog training school. Graf representatives said they mainly work with longstanding clients who are aware of the need to book a place in advance for their pet, Focus news agency reported on April 28.

The 15 leva a day price includes special care, a separate cage suitable for the dog’s size and proper heating. The cage is made of tiles and regularly disinfected so as to enable a smooth transition between one dog vacating and another arriving. There is also a big yard where dogs exercise during the day, observed by video cameras. The pets also have special cook.

Graf hotel representatives said that they only accommodate dogs but that other pet hotels accept cats. The price does not depend on the pet size or breed.

Hotel representatives also said there are no problems with the dogs because they do not accept aggressive animals, apparently a common practice in all pets’ accommodations. The dogs are always walked alone and every dog has a separate corridor, the hoteliers also said.
