A dog works hard for their human. There's the five-star welcome, wake up calls and personal training service, not to mention on-tap therapy sessions Therefore it's no surprise a dog enjoys a break like the rest of us, where they can let their fur down and enjoy exclusive time with their favourite human.

Having sent over 12,000 owners and 15,500 dogs on their jollies since their official launch in 2014, and booking to more than 2,000 truly pet-welcoming hotels, cottages, country houses and B&Bs around the UK and Europe, PetsPyjamas is best in show for hound and human holidaying. So ahead of National Pet Month (1 April to 1 May), the UK friendliest dog-friendly travel company shares 10 breaks your dog will want you to book right NOW!
