Within 24 hours of the government's announcement that domestic holidays are permitted in self-contained accommodation, for members of the same household, leading dog-friendly holiday company PetsPyjamas has reported a 212% surge in demand for properties within this category compared to this time last year.

Demand for cottages, lodges and Shepherd Huts from within PetsPyjamas' 14,000-strong dog-friendly property portfolio have rocketed, as pet owners of the UK's 10 million plus dog population are eager to swap their daily 'eat, walk, cuddle, repeat' routine for new walking routes, a change of scenery and exiting adventures together.

Commenting on the increase, Aimee Withrington, Head of Marketing, PR and Communications for PetsPyjamas says: “The nation's dogs have done a fantastic job in helping their owners stay positive during the pandemic, so it's no surprise that families are keen to involve them in adventures away from home, as holidays start to make a comeback. From luxury five star hotels to fantastic pubs with rooms, our portfolio of dog-friendly properties is extensive and truly welcoming to all breeds, personalities and sizes, but a self-catered stay is actually a great option for dogs new to travel, as they offer a set up and routine similar to home. With a reported one million extra dogs added to the UK population during lockdown, this April onwards is likely to see many dogs enjoy their first taste of four-legged travel and we're delighted to make it as easy and brilliant as possible.”

PetsPyjamas have been delighting furry friends and their owners since 2014, with truly-welcoming petaways at more than 14,000 hotels, cottages, country houses and B&Bs in the UK and abroad. PetsPyjamas holidays offers with exceptional dog-friendly packages you won't find anywhere else. Dogs stay free and with the first dog-friendly holiday booking, PetsPyjamas customers automatically become members of their Priority Paws club, which gives dogs and their owners access to their own VIP pet concierge, complimentary 24/7 vet advice from PawSquad for the duration of their trip, VIP discounts and exclusive deals.
