MODOG (opening in July)

Covering an area of more than one rai, this modern, full-service pet facility promises your best buddy will be taken care of 24-7 by trained nannies, while there are online surveillance cameras for added piece of mind. Both owners and pooches can also enjoy some quality time together in the saltwater pool tailored to your dog’s sensitive skin. The doubled water flow system ensures the pool remains clean without any dog (or human) hair left behind. You can also expect certified grooming services, a pet retail store, and both outdoor and indoor activity zones.
