While many people have New Year’s resolutions for everything and anything related to fitness and complete makeovers, some pet parents are taking this treasured tradition to the next level — extending these luxury pet wellness ideas to their cats and dogs! And this year, that can mean anything from a simple bath and brush makeover to a full-blown pet wellness retreat.
These new and growing high-end hot spots for pet wellness are all about holistic care. If you can imagine some of your favorite personal pampering moments, there is a good chance your pet can enjoy them as well — soothing massages, therapeutic swims, and natural facials that leave pets glowing inside and out. Even the atmosphere is different. Forget about the neighborhood groomer rushing through appointments amid barking crowds and organized chaos. Next-level luxury means a serene, spa-like environment with private sessions, expert therapists, and vet-approved therapies tailored to each pet’s needs.
Many of these services still include the basics like clips and cleanses, but also add luxury experiences focused on long-term health, stress reduction, and rejuvenation. This includes aromatherapy, blueberry facials, hydrotherapy in warm pools (or underwater treadmills for low-impact exercise), pet reiki for emotional balance, acupuncture for pain relief, and therapeutic massages to release tension and stimulate natural oils, resulting in a shinier coat.
Best of all, these benefits extend far beyond a pretty pup. Regular visits can help prevent skin issues, reduce anxiety (especially in indoor pets), and extend lifespan by improving physical and mental health. For owners, it’s also peace of mind knowing your companion is thriving, plus the joy of a happier, more vibrant pet strutting home. And nowadays, through science, they combine well with AI-monitored wearables for real-time vitals during sessions, sustainable plant-based products, and hyper-personalized care based on breed or DNA insights.
Three Pet Wellness Paradises That Are Raising The Bar!

Many pet parents send their pets to the spa every 4-6 weeks to maintain hygiene, coat health, and overall comfort.
Three Luxury Excursions That Invite Pet Parents, Too!
The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Colorado welcomes dogs with gourmet treats and beds while you enjoy human spa massages. Nestled among the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains and the Beaver Creek ski resort, this distinct year-round destination resort offers outdoor adventure and a range of human amenities, including manicures, saunas, steam rooms, and plunge pools. They offer concierge services for local dog activities and have a resident Saint Bernard, “Bachelor,” and partner with services like Wanderlust Dog Ranch for day camp and boarding.
Salish Lodge & Spa in Washington offers pet-friendly hikes, followed by your own relaxation session. This unique dog-friendly offering, called the Pampered Paws Package (patio rooms only), includes treats, a blanket, green pace access, doggie bowls, and waste bags. Meanwhile, all the humans in the group can take in spa treatments, soaking pools, and massages. If you do need a little time away from the pet, the nearby Salish Veterinary Hospital in Snoqualmie offers comprehensive pet care services.
Lake Austin Spa Resort in Texas syncs pet therapies with owner yoga or facials. For pet parents, there are world-class, medical-grade treatments that offer a luxurious experience to restore mind, body, and spirit. And for pets, some services allow furry friends to participate. In fact, the resort believes that the lake and pets were made for each other, which means every pet will be treated with thoughtful attention, including special treats, spa dog beds, doggie life jackets for swimming, and plenty of time with you along the lakeside walking trails.
All in all, whether you arrange an excursion for your pet or your entire family plus one, luxury pet wellness is becoming increasingly common when you know what to look for. From holistic therapies that outshine regular grooming to owner-inclusive perks at top spots in the United States, 2026 is turning into the year of the pampered pet (and pampered pet owners).
