Travelodge has created a customised bed for guests’ canine and feline pets.

Results from a 1,000-person survey conducted by Travelodge this month found that almost two-thirds of respondents (61 per cent) admitted that they would rather not leave their pets behind when they are away from home.

In response to this demand, Travelodge has customised a replica of their king-size adult bed to accommodate its customers’ pets.

The bespoke pet bed is 2.6 x 2 ft and comes complete with a mattress, pillow and duvet in Travelodge colours.

The company’s pet policy allows guests to bring up to two domestic pets, with a charge of £10 per pet per stay.

The pet beds will be trialled in Travelodge’s Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham and Nottingham hotels.

Wayne Munnelly, Travelodge’s sleep director, said: “Travelodge prides itself on being an innovative company and we are always looking at new ways to provide budget accommodation for everyone.

“For a long time, we have allowed customers to bring their cats and dogs with them when they stay with us. Now we are adding a little bit extra for those who want to spoil their furry friends by giving them their very own bed.”

Dr Roger Mugford, animal behaviour psychologist, added: “Hotels need to appreciate that people think of pets as a family member and adopt a pet friendly policy which complements today’s consumer lifestyle. The Travelodge pet bed is a great example of how hotels can cater for pets.”

The study also revealed that 29 per cent of respondents spend a significant amount of time searching for a hotel which will accommodate pets and around 44 per cent said they would take their pets away more often if more UK hotels offered a pet bed service. Nearly two million (28 per cent) dog owners take their dog away in comparison with around one million (9 per cent) cat owners. Details: www.travelodge.co.uk
