LOEWS em-BARKS on
PET-FRIENDLY PROGRAM
Recent statistics showed that during 1998, 41% Americans
traveled with their pet. Because of this trend, Loews Le Concorde Hotel in
Québec City, Canada, is teaming with the Mira Foundation, a non-profit
organization that brings up and trains dogs to accompany blind or impaired
individuals, to launch “Loews Loves Pets.” The hotel welcomes
customers accompanied by their pet. A pet treat and a Loews water bowl is
delivered by room service on the day of arrival. A "petsitter" can
also be called up for daily walks or to take care of the pet during the absence
of its master. 5% of the rate paid by a guest visiting with a pet is
donated to the Mira Foundation. The goal is to raise $15 000 within the next
two years, and the first dog registered will be named "Loews
Premier." Loews has covered many extras. A special housekeeping
procedure has been implemented to make sure the room is thoroughly cleaned to
avoid any allergy problems to future guests. And the Loews "Did you Forget
Closet" has items for those who might have forgotten their pet's favorite
toy or leash. For
