The Šibenik Riviera could welcome this year's tourist season with an increased accommodation capacity, not only for its visitors, but for their pets – dogs – as well. Namely, in the entrepreneurial zone Podi, near Šibenik, the dog hotel of the Šibenik-based company «As-Eko» should soon open its door, the first of its kind in Dalmatia. Its construction will cost around 5.5 million HRK
.
The hotel will spread over 6,000 square metres, and two facilities, 1,000 square metres each, have already been built.  The investors claim that the idea to build a tourist accommodation facility for the barking quadrupeds has existed for quite some time now since numerous visitors bring their pets with them to the Šibenik Riviera as they have nowhere to leave them when they need to during their vacation: for instance, when yachtsmen want to spare their pet the rough sea. 

The investors also announce that the dog tourists will be able to enjoy a top notch treatment in Podi. The service will be completely adjusted to the desires of the owners. For instance, the owners will be able to choose the daily menu for their pets. A special walking area has been built for the dogs' daily walks.

The hotel will not feature room-service, but the barking tourists will have a veterinary doctor and other health and support staff at their disposal.
