Summary
Looking for a pet-friendly spa? Not only is it getting more common, but some spas will lavish as much love on your pets as you do. A few pet-friendly spas offer special services like massage, pool-side cabanas, and even programming for animal lovers who left their pet at home. More typically, pet-friendly spas simply allow you to bring your pets but may require you to stay in special rooms, pay an extra fee, and put down a deposit that may or may not be refundable. Here are some of the best pet-friendly spas and their policies.
