Family-run Beverley Holidays in Paignton set tails wagging on this month’s Bring Your Dog To Work Day – and helped raise funds for good causes at a stroke.

Staff were joined in the workplace by their canine companions to support two top animal welfare charities as part of a nationwide initiative of which Beverley is an official sponsor.

Highlights of the day included a Crufts-inspired parade of pooches, a series of challenges to find which pets had the Rex-factor, and a “Beverley’s Best in Show” finale.

The fundraising initiative coincides with news that the group has opened its doors to man’s best friend with a range of dog-friendly holiday caravans and facilities on Beverley Bay for 2017.

Pet owners can now choose from a range of holiday caravans kitted-out for hounds who like to holiday in style, coupled with a dedicated dog exercise area.

Its warm doggy shower is also proving a pooch-tastic hit, providing dogs with privacy while they clean their muddy paws, plus an “A-la-bark” menu, and Beverley Doggy Holiday Guide for guests.

Beverley Holidays director Claire Jeavons, said: “Dogs are very much part of the family, and our aim at Beverley is to make them feel just as welcome as their human counterparts.

“Our introduction of our dog-friendly caravans and facilities for 2017 is already proving very popular among owners and dogs alike,” she added.

“Bring Your Dog To Work Day” is organised by pet product manufacturer HOWND in order to raise funds for two top animal welfare charities: All Dogs Matter and Animals Asia.

Claire said the day had been a great success, and that the experience was clearly enjoyed equally by both staff and their four-legged friends.

Set in the heart of the English Riviera, Beverley Holidays provides high-quality accommodation including hot tub holiday caravans and luxury lodges, plus camping and touring pitches with stunning sea views.

There are photographs of the Beverley team hard at work with their furry friends on Beverley Holidays‘ Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, and on its Beverley Blog.
