Pup – Up Cafe

When we think of Pop-Up Cafes we may think of a range of exciting culinary experiences that are enticing for both business owners and the diners alike. Yet a Pop-Up Cafe can be a low cost business opportunity. It can be an opportunity to test out new ideas and recipes to see what works well and bring in the customers. Pop-Up Cafes can cover a range of experiences. A relatively new idea for this is a unique Pop-Up dog dining experience for dogs and their owners.

Move over ‘therapy cat Pop-Up Cafes’ because there are now up and coming Pup-Up Cafes! A café experience where you can take your groomed pup to make friends with other dogs. You can sip on an Americano and gush over other dog owners’ pets. Why not compare the price of a teddy bear cut at the groomers or discuss which treats are the healthiest for your precious pooch? There is no end to topics you can explore around your pups!

You may just be a dog lover and you can also attend and enjoy 30-100 dogs of your favourite breed and top up on some dopamine. This craze is a Pup-Up dog event and the events are scattered up and down the UK. There is likely to be an event near you including dates this year for Cardiff, Birmingham and Blackpool as well as other main towns and cities.

The Pup-Up Cafe is a popular trend and perfect for new dog owners that might be looking to connect with like-minded people. It’s a great opportunity to share advice on how to look after their new pup. Some of the events are also based on the breed of the dog. For example, there is a popular and fairly established dachshund group. The Pup-Up event offers a safe and friendly space for you to mingle with the dog owners and pet your favourite dogs, as long as you ask the owner’s permission. The dedicated team will have you well looked after with bags, puppy pads, blankets and water bowls. There are plenty of photo opportunities with up to two professional photographers on site that will be happy to take some snaps for you. The photos are then uploaded straight to their Facebook page and free for you to share away to your hearts content.
