Leading Northamptonshire-based pet accessory company Trinkety Paws, which designs and manufactures fashion-forward, practical collars and leads for dogs, has made the finals of the PetQuip Awards in three categories this year.

Trinkety Paws has made the finals in the Supplier of the Year and UK Retailer of the Year (online) categories. Company founder Nadine Berger has also been nominated for the Rising Star category.

Nadine started the business as a hobby when she spotted a gap in the market for dog accessories that were not only stylish and vibrant but were also practical for her two dogs, Ozzie a Weimaraner and Labrador Cross and Cooper, a German Shorthaired Pointer.  

During Nadine’s research she came across BioThane© a brilliant material that was waterproof, easy to clean and available in a whole rainbow of colours. It was also adaptable enough to incorporate different designs and patterns. Her hobby eventually turned into an award-winning business.

Nadine said: “At Trinkety Paws, we blend function and fashion to create high-quality, durable dog accessories that are as bold and joyful as the dogs who wear them. Every item is expertly handmade in our workshop using only premium materials, such as our waterproof BioThane webbing, and premium Rope. Both waterproof, easy to clean, and built to last. 

“BioThane is smooth, vegan, odour-free, and strong enough to handle the most adventurous dogs, while our rope is lightweight, quick-drying, and resistant to mould and dirt. Whether your pup loves muddy trails or wild swims, our accessories are made to keep up and look great doing it.

“We currently handcraft around 1,200 products each month, a number that’s steadily rising thanks to the popularity of our designs.” 

Trinkety Paws’ typical customers are passionate dog lovers who want high-quality accessories that match their pup’s personality and lifestyle. They range from adventurous explorers who put their waterproof gear to the test, to stylish urban dog owners who love bold colours, style and fashion-forward design. They can cater for every size and breed—from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds and with over 50 collar and lead designs, they offer something for every pup and every walk—from rugged countryside trails to polished city strolls. Products are recommended by dog walkers, trainers, and vets and Trinkety Paws also work closely with many SEND customers and wheelchair users to create custom-fit solutions that meet their individual needs. 

Nadine added: “We are delighted to be recognised by PetQuip once again this year and we are excited to be exhibiting at PATS.”

Trinkety Paws will be exhibiting its latest designs to the pet trade at PATS on stand A19.
