INNSiDE Liverpool, part of Meliá Hotels International, has revealed a dedicated dog offering at the 207-bedroom, Old Hall Street hotel – curated hampers including must- have travel accessories and a birthday treat box.
With a pet friendly approach as standard across the INNSiDE by Meliá UK collection – with hotels located in Manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool – INNSiDE Liverpool has elevated its stays for dogs, due to demand, with a collaboration with independent lifestyle store, Natural Pet Shop.
With a 75% increase in pet stays over the past year, INNSiDE recognised the demand from owners needing items for their dogs during their stay, including treats, toys and the all-important dog wipes.
Connecting owners and dogs to Liverpool’s thriving independent scene, INNSiDE Liverpool has teamed up with the local Natural Pet Shop, to create two must-have travel hampers, the ‘The Pamper Hamper’ and ‘The Long Weekend Hamper’ available to purchase at INNSiDE Liverpool’s unique kiosk. Natural Pet Shop has also created a bespoke birthday box for pampered pooches celebrating their special day at INNSiDE Liverpool – plus for any other extra special occasions, specially curated Natural Pet Shop hampers are available for pre-order.
The Pamper Hamper contains a Pampering Nose & Paw Balm, Baby Powder Fragrance, Nature’s Paws Rope Tugger, Travel Pack Dog Wipes and Calming Treats – a healthy treat for dogs that’s perfect after a long day exploring Liverpool. The Pamper Hamper retails at £23.50.
The Long Weekend Hamper is an extension to the Pamper Hamper and contains products including Pampering Nose & Paw Balm, Baby Powder Fragrance, Collapsible Bowl, Travel Pack Dog Wipes, ‘Made From’ Lick Mat, a Llama Plush Toy, Pate/Peanut Butter and Box of Sausages. The Weekend Break Dog Hamper retails at £47.
For a special birthday treat, guests can upgrade to the The Birthday Hamper which contains a cute Birthday Toy, pampering Nose & Paw Balm, fun Tug Toy, a box of Natural Pet Shop’s tasty Biscuit bites, small Reusable Treat Jar and a complimentary Birthday Card from the team. The Birthday Hamper retails at £39.
Commenting on the collaboration with the local dog store, Garry Fortune, UK Director Of Operations said: “Over the last year we’ve seen a big rise in guests booking into our hotels and bringing their dogs too. The UK has a reputation of being a nation of pet lovers and we are definitely seeing that at INNSiDE UK! Our new collaboration with super-friendly and independent lifestyle store Natural Pet Shop is perfect for dog-lovers – it means we have them covered if there are any forgotten items when they arrive. More recently, we have seen guests celebrating their dog’s birthday with us, so Natural Pet Shop created the ultimate birthday treat box for the kiosk.”
Chris Walker, Founder of Natural Pet Shop, said: “As a family-run business, we love being able to help strengthen the bond between pet parents and their four-legged babies; and so we’ve picked out only the best products for the hampers now available at INNSiDE Liverpool, aiming to provide each dog with a box packed with goodies to make each stay memorable!
“The team here at Natural Pet Shop strive to provide more natural and eco-friendly alternatives to everyday pet essentials. We’ve consciously picked out amazingly natural treats and recycled accessories to reduce our carbon pawprint. This is why we are super excited to be partnering with the iconic INNSiDE Liverpool hotel.”
At INNSiDE UK, each stay is enriched with music, art, lifestyle and wellness curated by the hotel’s local experts and in keeping with INNSiDE by Melia’s philosophy ‘Stay Curious’, which promises to accommodate guests’ every need with considered comforts and inspiring experiences.
