B&M Pet Hotel (Xujing)

Named after the owner’s "famous" dogs Baozi and Mantou, B&M is an adorable pet boarding business with three locations in Shanghai. We visited the Puxi location, opened in 2019, near international schools BISS, SAS, and WISS. Owner Golden Chen and his wife founded the company in 2016 after he left the Chinese media industry. The reception area feels like a pet spa, complete with a paw-shaped desk and a namaste vibe. The facility offers underfloor heating, air filtration every 20 minutes to prevent doggie odors, and four daily walks for dogs. It also provides a separate area for animals recovering from surgery and has connections with two veterinary clinics. Owners must provide their own pet food.
