Over the past year, a combination of recurring lockdowns and more money in people’s pockets has resulted in an uptick in pet ownership.
But despite the perceived hype around exotic crossbreeds, a new study by Quotezone.co.uk reveals that many pedigree dogs are the most sought after across the UK, with Brits opting for a pedigree dog over a crossbreed.
The findings, which are based on a sample of almost 100,000 pet insurance policies, shows there has been a 40 per cent increase in demand for pedigree dogs in 2021 when compared to the same period (January-September) in 2019.
