Britain’s Most Dog Friendly Venues
The Presidential Suite at the Royvon Dog Hotel
Open for Dogs is the Kennel Club’s campaign to make public places more accessible for dogs and their owners. The website, which is powered by Dog Friendly, lists more than 10,000 public places that are Open for Dogs throughout the UK. Now in its third year, the Open for Dogs Awards 2010 offers its winners national acclaim for their specialised services to our four-legged friends.
According to research conducted by the Kennel Club, businesses are claiming that the key to success comes in the unusual shape of our canine companions. A staggering four out of five businesses claim that their dog friendly policy has helped them to draw in more customers in difficult financial times.
Speaking about the Open for Dogs Awards, Kennel Club Communications Director, Caroline Kisko, said: “We had a great response to the competition and are really heartened to see that so many British businesses are going out of their way to make dogs and dog owners welcome.
“Dogs are part of the family and it’s tough for their owners when they are unable to fully enjoy days out or holidays in the UK because their dogs are turned away.
