Mucky Pups to Lucky Pups: Do You Have The Nation’s Dirtiest Dog?
Every dog owner knows it, autumn and winter are the seasons we dread most when taking our pups out for a walk – and it’s not just getting stuck in the rain and wind we don’t like, but getting covered head-to-toe in mud!
In fact, new research by personalised pet brand Yappy.com has revealed that two-thirds of us don't like our dogs getting muddy on walks and many of us will even choose a mud-free path to avoid our dogs getting dirty. A further 20% of dog owners will always keep dogs on a lead to stop them from running amuck and 10% will dress their dog in a coat to keep them clean.
While a bit of mud might not seem like a huge problem at first, 60% of dog owners have had their car or home damaged as a result of their mucky pups, with damages costing up to £1000. Most commonly, our pups tend to cause around £100 worth of damage to either our homes or cars, whether that’s staining the carpet, soaking the car, or totally ruining the porch!
And the issue doesn’t stop there as one in five dog owners admit that their dog hates being bathed - so even the solution causes a problem!
