COME RAIN OR SHINE

Dog lovers without a pooch of their own can join BorrowMyDoggy to find an eager and motivated cardio companion.

The average British dog owner takes their pooch on 433 walks a year, covering a distance of 548 miles, the equivalent of walking from Land’s End to John O’ Groats annually.

MAN’S BEST SPEND

As an alternative to kennels, a BorrowMyDoggy membership for owners is only £44.99/year and includes insurance and a 24/7 Vet Line and dogs can enjoy unlimited love, walkies and happy holidays.

British dog owners expect to spend over £400 a year on dog accessories, food, treats, grooming, holidays, insurance, vets bills and kennels - equating to a total of £3.5 billion pounds a year.
