Züripets in the Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich Dog Directory: Dog care for a relaxing stay in Zurich
The Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich is a historic luxury hotel in the heart of the city. Located directly on Paradeplatz, the hotel combines the history of a Zurich grand hotel with contemporary comforts and personalized service. Bahnhofstrasse, the Old Town, and Lake Zurich are all in the immediate vicinity.
The hotel is rated by the Forbes Travel Guide and is also featured in the MICHELIN Guide . Its Italian fine-dining restaurant, ORSINI, holds one Michelin star. These accolades recognize different aspects: the hotel’s hospitality and the cuisine of its restaurant.
The fact that the hotelprovides a separate guide for guestswith dogs shows just how many questions are involved in ensuring a successful stay. Dog owners need information that goes beyond the hotel room: Where can they find a suitable walking route? Who can they contact in the event of a veterinary emergency? And what kind of care is available if the dog can’t join in on a particular activity?
Züripets in the Dog Directory
In the section “Dog Sitting Services,” the Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich lists Züripets as a pet care service. The directory describes options for care at home or at a pet care facility and directs guests to the concierge team for inquiries and reservations.
We are delighted about this inclusion. It provides travelers with another way to discover what we have to offer.
At Züripets, we are guided by a clear mission: We want to care for dogs in a professional and attentive manner, tailored to their individual needs. To achieve this, we combine personalized arrangements with structured routines and a careful assessment of which type of care is best suited for each dog.
Why Dog Care Should Be Planned Especially Carefully When Traveling
Traveling brings many new experiences for a dog. Unfamiliar surroundings, different sounds, new people, and changes to their daily routine can be exciting, but they can also cause anxiety.
Not every dog feels comfortable in every situation. Some accompany their owners through the city without any problems. Others need more peace and quiet or are better off in familiar surroundings. Age, health, past experiences, and behavior toward other dogs also play a role.
That's why providing the right care starts with asking questions: What does the dog already know? How does he react to strangers and other dogs? What routines help him? Does he need medication or special assistance?
This information allows us to work with the owners to explore a suitable solution. Careful preparation lays the groundwork for making the dog’s stay as pleasant as possible.
Daycare for Appointments and Outings in Zurich
A business meeting, a visit to a museum, or a longer outing isn't always compatible with having a dog. For days like these, our daycare at Glattpark near Zurich might be a good option.
Day care is available from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The daily routine includes care, exercise, and rest periods. We make sure that the composition of the dog group and the daily routines are tailored to the dogs in our care.
Group care requires that a dog be suitable for it. We therefore assess the dog’s needs and behavior in advance. An introductory meeting helps us determine whether the dog will feel comfortable with us and what kind of preparation is necessary.
Hotel guests are advised to request assistance before their arrival, if possible. This allows time to clarify availability and requirements.
Vacation Care and Overnight Stays
If you need pet care for several days, you can inquire about overnight stays with Züripets Holidaycare. Our facility provides round-the-clock care for dogs, 365 days a year.
However, an overnight stay in a new environment requires more preparation than a short visit. That’s why a “meet and greet” before the pet-sitting arrangement is mandatory. Depending on the dog and the planned care arrangements, we’ll coordinate further steps to help the dog adjust.
Information about the dog’s diet, sleeping habits, health, and behavior is particularly important. The better we get to know the dog, the more effectively we can plan its stay.
Even for last-minute requests, availability and suitability remain key factors. We’d be happy to see what we can do.
Home Service as a Customized Alternative
Group care isn't the right choice for every dog. With our in-home service at the hotel, we offer another option tailored to each individual situation.
We will discuss in person whether this type of care is an option. If care is to be provided at a residential facility, local regulations and the approval of the responsible authority must also be taken into account.
Especially for older dogs or dogs with special needs, it can be helpful to compare different options. Our goal is to find a solution that suits the dog and the level of care required.
Transportation and proximity to Zurich Airport
Züripets is located in Glattpark in Opfikon, near Zurich Airport. This location may therefore also be of interest to travelers who wish to combine dog care with their arrival, departure, or stay in the region.
In addition, you can request dog transportation. During the planning process, we’ll coordinate the pickup location, destination, times, and the dog’s needs. This allows us to work together to organize the dog’s care and the travel itinerary.
Proximity to the airport is no substitute for planning ahead: Anyone who needs assistance should get in touch as early as possible and allow enough time to get to know the staff.
Quality is evident in day-to-day care
For us, high-quality dog care means paying close attention and acting responsibly. This includes clear agreements with the owners, careful observation, and care that is focused on the dog’s well-being.
Equally important are calmness, safety, and the willingness to adjust care when a dog is overwhelmed by a situation. Not every service is right for every dog. That’s why an honest assessment is part of our commitment to quality.
In addition to daycare and vacation care, our services include home care, transportation, and one-on-one training. Other services, such as physical therapy and animal home care, can be requested as needed. We’ll discuss in person which support is appropriate and available for your specific situation.
Request care early
To help us review a request, please provide the following information:
Preferred days and times for childcare
The dog's age, breed, and size
Experience with other dogs and previous care arrangements
Health-related considerations and, if applicable, medications
Requested transportation or other additional assistance
We will then discuss the next steps and the requirements for making a reservation. It’s a good idea to make your inquiry early, especially during vacation periods and around holidays.
Dog Care and Grooming — at Züripets or at your hotel
You can also combine your stay in Zurich with a grooming appointment at the Züripets Dog Salon. Depending on your needs, you can request coat care, bathing, trimming, and other grooming services—either at our salon or, by arrangement, right at your hotel.
We'll schedule the appointment based on your dog's care needs and your travel plans. Please let us know well in advance what kind of care your dog needs so we can discuss availability, appropriate services, and the process.
