Eight in 10 dog owners want their dogs to feel part of the Christmas celebration, saccording to Asda Money’s survey of 1,000 UK dog owners. The survey showed that 73 per cent of pooches will sit down to a dog-friendly Christmas dinner this year – with almost a quarter of dogs being set a place at the dinner table.
One in eight spoilt pups will even enjoy a celebration breakfast of smoked salmon and croissants. A further 19 per cent are desperate to let their dog sit at the table on December 25, but their family won’t allow it.
When it comes to what the nation’s four-legged friends are set to enjoy for their own Christmas lunch, 64 per cent will be served a festive turkey, while 37 per cent will keep it somewhat healthy with a side of carrots, 36 per cent will be tucking into beef, and over a third (35 per cent) are going to be treated to special festive themed dog treats.
