Guide Dogs and Fenella Smith team up for the By My Side range

Guide Dogs is excited to announce a new collaboration with British design brand, Fenella Smith. Our new By My Side collection celebrates inspiring and life-changing guide dogs partnerships, while raising money to help Guide Dogs to continue their vital work in enabling people with sight loss to live actively, independently and well.

This new range includes four mugs, which come as a set or individually, a dog bowl and a treat jar, each with beautiful hand-drawn illustrations of dog breeds from the Guide Dogs family. Each piece is designed in the UK and made in Portugal.

Our partner Fenella Smith said of the collection:

"As lovers of all things animals and especially dogs, at Fenella Smith we want to play our part in helping support Guide Dogs. That's why we have dedicated our time in creating this collection for Guide Dogs whose ambition is a future where every person with sight loss has the confidence and support they need to live their lives to the full."

We are thrilled that this new range will be available on the Guide Dogs Shop soon. They will also be available from Fenella Smith, as well as selected stockists across the UK, with a percentage of the profits coming back to Guide Dogs.*
