A remarkable 83 percent of respondents admitted to feeling guilty at the thought of leaving their canine friends behind while on holiday. Additionally, a resounding 67 percent confessed to planning their breaks around their furry friends, emphasizing the integral role pets play in shaping travel plans. These pet owners firmly believe that “the dog deserves a holiday too.”
