According to the PFMA pet population report of 2018 there were 9 million dogs in the UK with 26% of households owning at least one dog. We have two dogs – Sid and Hattie, two adorable but extremely naughty Jack Russells. They pop up quite a bit in the following pages so you will get to know them quite well.

Sid and Hattie are a huge part of our lives and are a major consideration in so many decisions that we make from day-to-day things like what is the best food to give them to bigger decisions like dog-friendly holidays. In our experience it can be an arduous task trying to find information we might need for this. We have spent hours searching the internet to find dog-friendly holiday cottages, bed & breakfast and hotels.

Eventually we came to the conclusion that the best thing to do would be to try and bring dog-friendly holiday accommodation under one roof and put together our own dogtastic website where you can find it all in one place.
