Shaggy Chic Included In “The Dog Lover’s Guide To Travel”

LAS VEGAS - Aug. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Shaggy Chic, the luxury, natural and eco-friendly dog salon and treat boutique at Tivoli Village, has been featured in a new book from National Geographic, “THE DOG LOVER’S GUIDE TO TRAVEL: Best Destinations, Hotels, Events, and Advice to Please Your Pet—and You” (National Geographic Books; ISBN: 978-4262-1276-5; trade paperback; $22.95.)

The new book by Kelly E. Carter, creator of The Jet Set Pets (http://thejetsetpets.com/).com makes getaways with pups easy by detailing what travelers and their pets can expect at hotels, airports, the beach, on the trail and more as well as the best pet offerings, from top hotels and perfect parks to trendy pet shops and doggie bakeries.

In the book, showcasing 75 pet-friendly cities across the United States and Canada, Carter notes “when it comes to services, be prepared to venture away from the Strip. Drive 15 minutes to Shaggy Chic at Tivoli Village, where your pampered pooch can get a blowout, blueberry facial and pawdicure while you enjoy this shopping / dining destination.”

From her extensive travels with her own dog, a longhaired Chihuahua, Carter gives suggestions for where travelers can find the best services and activities for their pups. Carter also offers basic advice in the book for pet parents traveling with their four-legged friends, including: how to determine if your dog is ready for a trip; how to select the right carrier and appropriate travel gear; what to know before booking a flight with your pup.

The book will be on sale at Shaggy Chic later this month.

“Kelly Carter knows that our dogs are more than just our best friends, they are family,” said Kelly Petersen, top dog / owner of Shaggy Chic. “We share her love for taking care of our pups and are proud to be included in her new book – the definitive guide on making the most of your vacation with your beloved four-legged friend.”

Petersen added that “Shaggy Chic clients want only the best for their pups. So, they will without a doubt find this book an indispensable resource as they plan their getaways, vacations and road trips – whether they are looking for a simple off-leash romp in a nearby park or trying to find a fancy wine-and-wag event – this book will become their go-to resource.”
