After your pup is more relaxed than you, have them order in room service; no, not for you, for them! Choose from dog-friendly entrees prepared by The Langham kitchen, such as The Bowser Burger or mini donuts, cupcakes, and carrot cake, all specially made for pooches. There is also pre-packaged natural dog food available for those who aren’t used to the high dining cuisine.
