Four-Paw Holidays for Hollywood Dogs

The Four-Legged Country Club

The Club Beverly Hills could just as easily be one of the hottest restaurants in town with its all-white façade and unmarked door with street front of idling Mercedes, Escalades and Rolls Royce Phantoms. The only difference is it's leggy clientele -- a four-pawed catwalk of some of LA's most pampered pooches coming and going from the city's only canine country club.

Membership to the city's most exclusive country club comes with an on-site interview and well-priced initiation that usually starts from roughly $250 per year. Once enrolled, dogs are greeted on a first-name basis in a central reception area that leads to an all-white boarding room and rear courtyard with a scientifically modified play area on joint-friendly Astroturf.

While owners hit the fashionable boutiques or Rodeo and Robertson, pets are indulged with doggie yoga, individually tailored daybeds and meals provided by an on-site chef who works together with the club's medical director to create a personalized nutrition plan. At the end of the day, your dog is treated to a late-afternoon Jacuzzi soak before being picked up or personally dropped off by Club staff just in time to celebrate.
