With 15k monthly searches for dog-friendly holidays, UK holiday park experts share the best way to travel with your pets this half term!
Reports show that over 36% of homes in the UK now include a canine companion. With many people welcoming new pets into their families over Christmas, it’s no surprise that search demand for dog friendly accommodation and holiday homes has risen.
New pets can take some adjusting to – especially when it comes to holidaying. Kennel costs can easily be over £200 for a week away and there is no guarantee your pet will be as pampered in their holiday accommodation as they would be in yours – not to mention how much you’ll miss them.
Having a home away from home where you can bring along your new family member is the ideal solution for both owners and beloved pets, who will be grateful to be a part of the special memories you make during your time away.
If you’re not already convinced, here are some of the many reasons why a caravan holiday home is a game-changer for dog owners.
3 Reasons Why Caravan Holiday Homes Are Perfect for Dog Owners:
- A Familiar Retreat – Dogs thrive on routine and familiarity, and a regular holiday destination like a static caravan will quickly become their second home, ensuring they have a consistent and comfortable space they recognise and feel safe in. Every visit strengthens that bond, turning holidays into stress-free getaways for both pets and owners.
- Freedom to Explore – Our pet-friendly caravan parks are situated in stunning countryside or coastal locations, with direct access to dog-friendly walking trails, beaches, and open spaces. It’s the perfect way to keep your dog active and engaged, while you and your family can enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors.
- Pet-Friendly Facilities – Search data reveals an increasing number of families are looking for ways they can holiday that include their new family member. There are over 12,100 searches every month for Dog friendly accommodation in the UK alone, and a further 8,100 searches for dog friendly holiday homes (+22% up YoY).
At Park Holidays, we prioritise making your pet feel as welcome as you do. 40 of our parks across the UK (from Pentire in Cornwall to Lossiemouth in Scotland) offer pet-friendly accommodations and amenities*, including dog-wash stations and dog-friendly restaurants on-site, so you never have to leave your pet behind.
