New pet store will include hotel

A new PetSmart store opening soon at Trader’s Point will be home to a 157-room PetsHotel, the first for the chain in Indiana. The store is slated to open in June and will replace an existing location at 86th Street and Michigan Road next to Wal-Mart. The hotel is slated to open in July and will feature 145 dog rooms and suites, along with 12 “kitty cottages.” Dog rooms will range from $23 to $36 a night, and cat rooms will be $14 a night. Arizona-based PetSmart operates 62 of the pet hotels at its more than 900 stores nationwide.
