Forget Tokyo’s pet hotels or LA’s puppy pedicures, sometimes the good old-fashioned tub and bar of soap approach is all the pampering a dog needs.

Watch as this golden retriever kicks back and relaxes while receiving a luxurious hot tub scrub.

Maybe it was the addition of some oh-so soothing pan-pipe music that sees the dog politely extend his claws so they can be tended to.

All the while, one of his pals looks on with justifiable envy — failing to get in on the bath time action.

It's unclear exactly when and where the video was filmed but it was uploaded to YouTube on Saturday and has already been viewed more than 800,000 times.
