A new survey of 10,000 American dog owners by Forbes Advisor revealed that 82% of dog owners travel with their dogs. When asked what annoys dog owners the most, 37% of respondents said that being unable to bring their dog is their top annoyance. Is your hotel accommodating this growing demographic? Offering dog-friendly rooms is not longer enough. By offering dog-specific amenities, a hotel taps into the pet-owner market, which can be quite lucrative. Pet owners often seek accommodations that not only allow their furry friends but also cater to their needs. By providing a dog menu and other amenities, hotels position themselves as desirable destinations for pet owners, potentially increasing bookings and expanding their customer base.

We certified The Ivey's Hotel and they are great example 'how not to do dog friendly'. They barely scraped a C rank, scoring just 11 points out of 52. This is because they price gouge dog owners with unnecessarily steep fees while providing no services, amenities, or facilities for dogs in return, or even allowing them access to the wider hotel, and to make things worse they have a small weight limit meaning only very small dogs are welcome. We use hotels like this as an example of how not all dog friendly hotels are created equally, and how the words 'dog friendly' mean nothing unless they have been properly certified and ranked by an independent third party. A textbook example of a hotel that can be described as dog tolerant at best. You folks need to do better than this Kyle DeHont. https://lnkd.in/dt5i4qQi

Providing a special menu for dogs can set a restaurant apart from its competitors. It's a unique feature that can be a deciding factor for pet owners choosing where to dine. As more people embrace pet-centric lifestyles, accommodating dogs is a way to support and tap into this demographic, recognizing the importance they place on their pet's well-being. Dog parents who dine out with their pets are willing to spend more for the convenience and pleasure of having their pets with them. This can mean a clientele with a higher disposable income. #dogfriendlyrestaurant #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #hospitalitymanagement #guestexperience #dogmenu #hospitalitytrends

Monday 29th April Lots of first time guests staying with us this weekend which is fantastic. We are very fortunate to have lots of guests who return multiple times every year. But every regular starts as a first timer. Really pleased with the general feedback this weekend, lots of the general improvements we have implemented over the winter are having a great effect. The most popular are the dog agility course which is used all day long, even for owners of dogs who have never used such a facility. The improved sea view picnic area “magic circle” is also very popular. I remember someone saying to me in a tourism meeting for occupancy. Your business is all about occupancy, which is correct. But how do you get the occupancy is the question. One of the things we have tried to do this winter is to understand why guests come to us and this area. The dog 🐶 agility course is a great example. Around 45% of guests bring a dog, we were already quite dog friendly with doggy showers, dog walk, dog friendly coffee shop. But how do we go further. We built a dog agility course on site. It cost £450 including our labour. We have 7000 arrivals a year, that’s 3150 with a dog. So with an investment of 15p per arrival with a dog it’s a huge win win. It was a real team effort from idea to implementation. 💪 Have a great day everyone Tom
