As every year since 2014, Kutyabarat.hu presented its awards to Hungary's best dog-friendly businesses and accommodations to raise awareness of the fact that more and more dog owners prefer to enjoy certain services in the company of their pets.
A record number of businesses entered this year, the 135 contestants competed in 11 categories, receiving more than 27 000 votes altogether, the organisers announced on Tuesday.
"We are proud of every business that took part in the Dog-Friendly Business of the Year Awards. There is nothing particularly difficult in becoming dog-friendly, it all depends only on the attitude, and of course on keeping in line with the corresponding rules and regulations" organiser Tibor Sziládi-Kovács said.
