Caravan rental firm Amber Leisure is aiming to cater for a niche in the market after noticing that few of its rivals offer touring caravans or motorhomes to families with dogs.
According to the company, there are more than six million households with at least one dog in the UK, which can cause problems when heading off on holiday.
Brits often wish to take their canines with them, but may struggle to find accommodation that will allow pooches in.
However, Amber has made a selection of its vehicles available to those who want to take a trip with the whole family, including the pets.
“Being able to head off to the countryside and allow dogs to be taken on long walks or to run about free is an excellent opportunity, but many caravan hire companies will not permit dogs to be allowed on board,” the firm explained.
That is why it has made the decision to create a selection of special hire vehicles for dog owners.
However, those who wish to rent a caravan that has not been used by dogs can still do so as it will only be part of Amber’s service.
Meanwhile, the Gloucestershire Echo recently reported that a caravan salvage firm is set to move to a new site in the area.
