2020 has been the most relentless yet arguably fast-moving year I think I have ever experienced. That being said, it’s nearly Christmas! It can often be a struggle to work out what to buy loved ones at this time of year, so we’ve pulled together some gift ideas from brands local to Sheffield and makers in the South Yorkshire area.
Please note: Some of these links are affiliate links, this means that any purchase you make from the websites after you’ve clicked through, Dog Friendly Sheffield may receive a small percentage from the retailer. This doesn’t effect your purchase, but money made does help to keep our website online.
Local Sheffield Dog Brands
Jinks
Jinks are a local brand creating vegan friendly dog accessories and training products. If you follow us on Instagram you’ll have seen us post about their fantastic, strong biothane dog collars which our dog Eddie has one of. Eddie also has a Jinks snuffle bag, which is a great way to calm his mind as he snuffles around looking for biscuits in the bag, perfect for boisterous or nervous dogs.
Head to https://www.madebyjinks.co.uk/ to check out their biothane collars and dog leads in a variety of colours, alongside their snuffle selection and dog bandanas.
Shannons Barkery
Shannon’s Barkery is a local seller selling no-nasties dog treats and dog boxes. You’ll find a range of lovingly made treats to make sure your four-legged friend has a tasty Christmas.

Handmade Posh Tags
Hand stamped fancy dog tags or keyrings from Handmade Posh Tags on Etsy. They’ve had over 10,000 sales and have a 5 star review, so they must be pretty good. They’ve got a variety of tag styles to choose from so you can really personalise the tag to your dogs personality.
