The Glycemic Research Institute ® in Washington, D.C. announced today that it has awarded PAWS INN PARADISE the Best PET RESORT OF THE YEAR again for 2011-2012.

The Medical Advisory Board, Senior Staff, and Associate Research Fellows of the Glycemic Research Institute® (GRI) provide Independent Pro Bono Certification for products that pass the strict GRI Protocols, by authorization of the United States government, the Canadian government and the United Kingdom government.

Each year, the Glycemic Research Institute®, a Non-Profit organization, selects the Best Pet Food of the Year, Best Pet Food Store, and Best Pet Resort, for its coveted National Awards.

Paws Inn Paradise was selected as the State-of-the-Bark™ Best Pet Resort due to its professional, kind, loving, and humane care of pets, as well as a plethora of services, including a heated pool just for dogs, Puppy Play Time, Suites with televisions playing the Animal Planet 24/7, and live cameras in each Suite so that pet owners can view their pets from any location worldwide. One client spends half the year in Japan, and sets up his laptop so he can watch his beloved pet on the Pet-Cam at Paws Inn Paradise.
