The team at Knutsford-based Holly Johnson Antiques has opened their doors to four-legged friends to show their support for creating a ‘Dog Friendly Cheshire’.
Dog owners who visit the showroom will be able to bring their pooches inside to enjoy shelter from the Summer rays, as well as a welcome pit stop with doggie treats on hand.
As a further tribute to the team’s love of all things canine, Holly Johnson Antiques has also introduced a range of Italian-designed elegant and very unique Pasotti animal-themed umbrellas, with enamelled brass handles and Swarovski crystals, many of which are dog inspired.
Holly Johnson comments: “We are keen to make sure that canine faithful friends are not left outside, pining for their owners who come into our showroom, particularly as we go into the warmer Summer months.
“Many of our clients have dogs, and we love seeing them visit us, and we go as far as even stocking items which appeal to dog lovers. We have had fantastic feedback already on our new range of stylish and individually-designed Pasotti umbrellas which includes many different dog designs such as dachshunds, chihuahuas, poodles, mastiffs, greyhounds.”
