Pet ownership in the UK has surged in the last few years, with a huge 62 per cent of homes in Britain now having at least one pet.
Dogs are the most popular pet, with over a third of households having a canine pal – equating to a total of around 13 million pups across the country.
With pet owners spending an estimated £10 billion every year on their dogs, it’s a massive growth industry that has now spread to the hopitality sector.
