The Kennel Club has announced a new partnership with Awaze UK, parent company of cottages.com and Hoseasons.
Both companies welcome millions of guests and their canine companions each year, to provide a platform for booking dog-friendly holiday accommodation, ranging from holiday properties and lodges to canal boats and cruisers.
With around nine million dogs in the UK, and one in four households owning a dog, the great British public are always on the lookout for places where their four-legged family members are also welcome.
The partnership between Awaze UK, which boasts over 11,000 pet-friendly holiday properties with large enclosed gardens and close to scenic green spaces, and the UK’s largest organisation dedicated to dogs, aims to help more owners find dog-friendly rentals.
As the biggest provider of pet-friendly accommodation in the UK, Awaze UK also offers ‘ultra-dog-friendly’ properties complete with doggy showers and a welcome pack including towels, a water bowl and special dog tags.
