With 3.2 million households in the UK taking on fluffy friends during lockdown, it means that there are now 17 million pet- owning homes in the UK according to the Pet Food Manufacturers Association.
After a tough 12 months, it is no secret that Brits are in need of some much-needed sun and sand, but don’t forget that our canine companions are in need of one too! If you don’t like the thought of going on holiday without the whole squad then Eurocamp has many locations that are perfect for countryside walks and deserted beaches for the pooch to explore, meaning you can leave the kennels behind and extend your holiday instead.
With easy accessibility from the ferry, Eurocamp parcs are a perfect way to avoid the hustle and bustle of busy airports and planes – keeping the whole family, and of course the pooch, happy.
