After years of international research and planning, The Barkley Pet Hotel & Day Spa opens for business October 25th, 2010. On Thursday, October 21st, 2010, The Barkley will host an exclusive red carpet event for celebrities and their pets to view the world’s most luxurious pet resort and commemorate their pet’s pawprints along the hotel’s Walk of Fame. The Barkley, considered the “Ritz-Carlton” for pets, is the only pet care facility in the world that offers unique accommodations alongside Rodeo Drive, Planet Hollywoof, The Kodog and Growlman’s Chinese Theaters. A full "mutt"tini bar has been set up for the pet celebrities, which include favorites like Barkardi, Arfsolut and Kennel One, which even the snootiest schnauzer would raise its "sniffer" to. But not to worry, limo service is available for pets who cannot control their "licker." This long awaited grand opening has been in ‘paw’pular demand since the media started reporting on it more than two years ago.

The celebrity event will include a silent auction with generous donations from Pfizer, Abbott, Elanco, Antech, Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Natren Inc., just to name a few. Proceeds from the event will support The Barkley Foundation, who is in partnership with local animal rescue charities including Lifeline4Paws and Saving Animals From Euthanasia. The reception will be catered by Malibu’s own, Monrose Catering Co. with alcohol provided by the newest Cajun hotspot, Orlean’s Restaurant and Lounge. KnotJustFlowers.com donated all the floral décor and centerpieces to make this an event to be remembered. Gift bag donors include StickySheets LLC, ilovecookiesdogbakery.com, and XYNG, Fuel 4 Life. The Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village donated a $1,000 “Stay-cation” with accommodations and spa treatments for two and Hawaiian Hotels and Resorts donated a week vacation at Lahaina Resort in Maui.

About The Barkley: The Barkley Pet Hotel & Day Spa provides a variety of services for dogs, cats, birds and exotics at affordable prices. Along with overnight accommodations in uber-luxurious suites along Rodeo Drive and Hollywoof Boulevard and full-service day spa services (offering spa baths, body massages, mud-masks and "pawdicures”), every inch of The Barkley’s unique and proprietary designs were micromanaged by pet care consultants, architects, psychologists, behaviorists, and contractors worldwide. Described as a pet's paradise for relaxation, socialization, exercise or just sheer enjoyment, The Barkley is undoubtedly a “Five-Paw Property.” The custom-designed facility even offers doggie day camp, obedience training and limousine trans’paw’tation service! With an extensive guest service menu featuring bedtime tuck-in service, tummy rubs, and Skype® sessions, The Barkley is sure to be the “bark” of the canine community.
