A day for dog lovers to meet like minded people, take photos with their pups and pick up dog clothes and treats has been held at an Ecclesall Road cafe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pup Up Cafe hosted their 8th Sheffield event at the Lost and Found cafe on Ecclesall Road on Sunday 3rd March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The travelling events company usually hosts breed specific dog events across the UK, but yesterday was a special event as all breeds were welcome for an \u2018All Paws\u2019 session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Ackford, who has owned the Pup Up Cafe for seven years, said: \u2018\u2019I wanted to merge my love for events, small businesses and dogs, which led me to this niche in the market.\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u2018\u2019For the dogs we\u2019ve got unlimited puppuccinos, treats, toys, and off-lead time which is good for socialisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For humans we\u2019ve got small local businesses that sell everything from snuggle-sacks and harnesses to dachshund shaped ice cube trays, as well as meeting similar minded people with similar friendly dogs. A lot of people go for walks afterwards.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carly Parkin, 44, owner of Silly Sausage said: \u2018\u2019I got asked on a walk where the knitted snoods for my dachshunds came from, so I explained that I made them and then created a instagram page to show others, and it has grown from there- now I do it full time.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added \u2018\u2019I\u2019m here today to sell knitted dog fleeces, blankets, and snuggle sacks with bespoke sizes for bigger dogs or even humans, and for some I use leftover fabrics because I hate waste!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John, 35, and Rachel, 37, both attended the event after discovering it on Facebook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel said: \u2018\u2019We came here to socialise, which is always nice especially after Covid.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John added \u2018\u2019We quite like having a look around the stalls as well, especially because they are quite small businesses, we are happy to give them a helping hand.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pup Up Cafe will next be seen in Milton Keynes with two sessions, one for Dachshunds and one for all breeds of dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
