      <description>Today&amp;nbsp;has been a great day for&amp;nbsp;Kilkenny&amp;rsquo;s Pembroke Hotel &amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;their &amp;quot;Barking Mad&amp;quot; package.

	Morning Ireland, Radio 1,&amp;nbsp; RTE &amp;amp; Radio Kilkenny&amp;nbsp;all shared in&amp;nbsp;the love for our four legged companions.

	The Pembroke have launched the city&amp;rsquo;s first four&#45;star guest program for dogs. &amp;lsquo;Barking Mad&amp;rsquo; is a specially developed program of amenities and services for man&amp;rsquo;s best friend, and is the result of a large increase in demand from the hotel&amp;rsquo;s guests wishing to travel with their four&#45;legged friends.

	As part of the Pembroke Hotel&amp;rsquo;s new &amp;lsquo;Barking Mad&amp;rsquo; program, four&#45;star accommodation is provided to beloved pooches at the nearby Jenkinstown Kennels. With Jenkinstown Woods on its doorstep, the family run Jenkinstown Kennels provides high&#45;quality food and regular walks and will chauffeur guest&amp;rsquo;s dogs on request to and from the Pembroke Hotel.
