Top Dog-Friendly Travel Trends for 2025
Celebrate Gotcha Days in Style
Forget ordinary birthday cakes—celebrating your dog’s adoption anniversary or birthday is now an unmissable holiday trend. Picture luxurious getaways where your pup is treated to special extras like canine birthday cakes, doggie afternoon teas, and indulgent spa treatments. These over-the-top experiences ensure your dog is pampered like royalty.
Puppy’s First Holiday
Young pups are hitting the road earlier than ever. For their first trip, owners are opting for destinations under two hours from home, featuring dog-friendly accommodations with enclosed gardens and spacious rooms. These trips make it easy—and safe—to introduce puppies to the joys of travel.
Tailored Stays for Senior Dogs
As dogs live longer, more owners are planning holidays designed for their senior pets. Think soft beds, shorter walking trails, quiet destinations, and even wellness therapies to keep older dogs comfortable and happy.
Dog Gyms
Once upon a time, gyms and spas were exclusive luxuries for humans, but now, the world of pet-friendly hotels is levelling up! Outdoor agility centres and doggie gyms are becoming a must-have feature, offering an exciting and active way to keep furry friends entertained. These playful spaces are designed to bring joy, exercise, and plenty of wagging tails.
Luxury Redefined: From beds to pampered extras
Luxury hotels are raising the bar for pampered pooches. Expect super-luxe dog beds, gourmet hampers filled with local treats, and on-site agility courses or doggie gyms. These features are redefining indulgence for pets on holiday.
Dining with Your Dog: A Culinary Revolution
Shared dining experiences are booming, with dog-friendly menus rivalling their human counterparts. Iconic destinations like The Lygon Arms even offer pet-friendly meals created by celebrity chefs. Breakfast sausages for dogs? It’s practically a standard!
Dachshunds: The Ultimate Travel Companions
Move over Labradors & Cockapoos —2025 belongs to the Dachshunds. This pint-sized breed has become the most-travelled dog, adored for their compact size and adventurous spirit.
Pack Travel: More Dogs, More Fun
Travelling with multiple dogs is a booming trend. Hotels and cottages are now catering to larger packs, offering multi-dog-friendly rooms and eliminating extra pet fees. PetsPyjamas ensures that dogs stay free, whether you bring one pup or five.
Bespoke Walking Maps for Adventurous Paws
Hotels are crafting custom walking guides highlighting dog-friendly routes, off-lead areas, scenic trails, and the best dog-friendly pubs. These curated itineraries make every walk an adventure.
