With today's side deal, $30 gets you $75 toward dog day care, luxury dog boarding, and grooming at either of the two New York Dog Spa and Hotel locations (West 25th Street near Madison Square Park and East 91st Street near Carl Schurz Park). New York Dog Spa is a spacious, clean, and safe facility where four-legged friends can frolic freely in the absence of their top dog (click here to see photos).

Doggie day care or boarding spares you the guilt of keeping your pawed protégé in a cage while you're working overtime, flying away on business trips and vacations, or staring at your dog while he's in a cage. During the day, NY Dog Spa dogs gambol freely with their fellow hounds in group play. Each boarded dog gets a private run or cage (depending on size) for sleeping and eating, and boarding rates include one individual walk every day (a dog weighing less than 20 pounds costs $54 a night for five nights or more). Facilities are healthy, happy environments where only fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered dogs are accepted. Playgroups for dog day care are formed based on size, age, and temperament (no aggressive dogs are allowed for boarding or day care). Day-care rates also depend on size (a dog that weighs 21 to 49 pounds costs $37 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m).

If you spend every second of every minute of every day with your tail-wagger, use this Groupon to give him or her an exceptional and perfect smell. A good dog has hair, mouth slobber, toenail gunk, drain-clogging hair, drool, and a waggy tail that knocks all the upright things disupright every time you wrestle him or her into a tub, Jacuzzi tub, or fine porcelain teacup, making it hard to give a pooch a bath. Grooming at NY Dog Spa will make your best friend into a dapper little British fellow with whom you aren't embarrassed to be seen in public. It always includes a bath, and dogs are dried with a high-velocity dryer. Groomers know breed-standard grooming and are very experienced with popular breeds, so they're perfectly capable of grooming according to AKC excellence. Prices depend on size and breed; a golden retriever, for example, costs $85 to $95 plus tax.

New clients must register their dogs prior to arrival. You may download the registration form on NY Dog Spa's website.

Reviews

Citysearchers give the West 25th Street location and the East 91st Street location a perfect five-star rating:

• I've been using NY Dog Spa & Hotel for my dog's grooming for over five years now and I absolutely love them... We used to live in the city but moved out to Long Island 2 years ago and I still commute in just to get her groomed. – joNY621
• the only spa in town that I will leave my lovely pup – sophieedy
• On a hot summer day, a very beloved scotty managed to get gum balled-up under his paw and between his pads... scotty was limping around... Jorge removed all of the gum and clean him up thoroughly and beautiflly [sic] so that he was able to swagger out of the dog spa in style! – bellabklyn
