Traveling the U.K. with your pet just got a lot easier thanks to Chien Bleu, a travel agency that caters to pet owners who want to take their pooches along on their luxury vacations.
Chien Bleu bills itself as the U.K.'s only "first and only travel specialist devoted to fine accommodations truly welcoming to dogs." The company works closely with some of the kingdom's most luxurious hotels -- London's Milestone, for example -- to ensure that both pets and humans are treated with the utmost care and comfort. As a dog owner myself, I would love to see a service like Chien Bleu come to America, as it would open up a world of options for people seeking to go on vacations with their pets. Personally, I am sick of being relegated to a local campground every time I want to take my dog on vacation. We demand luxury!
