Pet Friendly Accommodations Do Brisk Business
According to 61 percent of pet owners surveyed, the U.S. is the most pet friendly country; Canada came in second and the U.K. was third. Pet owners in increasing numbers are still taking their four-legged friends on vacation with them. Animal lovers might be even pickier about travel accommodations for their pets than they are for themselves.
B&Bs dominate pet friendly accommodations as they do a great job catering to the most finicky pet owners. 52 percent of pet owners said they will only stay at accommodations that are pet friendly. 37 percent of respondents with pets would pay more to stay at accommodations that are pet friendly. Pet friendly accommodations are most important to dog owners, 64 percent, compared to 38 percent of cat owners.
