After a wonderful weekend vending at the Knoxville Expo, Spoiled Pet Cafe will again be vending our gourmet dog treats and gourmet cat treats at Knoxville’s Market Square. We were very excited to see many of our regulars from expos past and from both the Market Square Farmers’ Market and the New Harvest Park Farmers’ Market. We hope to see you at one of the events we participate in!

Spoiled Pet Cafe is looking forward to another wonderful event at the Knoxville Expo. These events are always fun because we not only get to catch up with some of our regular customer and friends from shows past but we get to meet some new people! Recently, we have made a real effort to increase our offerings for our feline friends. Just look for our banner and come say hi!

Spoiled Pet Cafe will have both our gourmet dog treats and gourmet cat treats. Have your human pick up some treats for you!

A Fantastic Fresh Pastry...And It IS Sugar Free!

With the long 4th of July weekend a fading memory, Spoiled Pet Cafe is happily anticipating this week’s upcoming farmers’ markets in Knoxville’s Market Square and New Harvest Park. As we store our memories of the Fourth of July weekend in that special place, our lives move back to that place of normalcy where there is a sense of comfort and satisfaction. Tomorrow the workweek begins for many of us. This means that the baking of fresh dog treats and cat treats will begin in earnest. We look forward to seeing everyone at this week’s farmers’ markets and perhaps exchanging stories from the 4th.

Be sure to look for the upcoming slideshow from the recent Louisville Expo! You Just Might Be In It!

Spoiled Pet Cafe At The Nashville Expo

This past weekend, Spoiled Pet Cafe had a wonderful time vending at the Nashville Expo. Our booth was larger and our product lines were more diverse.

As usual the stars of our booth were the gourmet dog treats and gourmet cat treats. Many of our out of town visitors were happy to learn that we ship our treats, vacuum sealed to most North American addresses.

Though the temps soared into the mid 90°Fahrenheit, the crowds were large and friendly. While we were spared the torrential downpours other parts of the city and the area experienced on Saturday, the brief rain showers we did get helped to ease the heat some.

Hope you enjoy these images from the Nashville Expo.

What better way to beat the heat than with fresh, crisp, garden vegetables! From crunchy cucumbers to juicy tomatoes, Knoxville’s Market Square Farmers’ Market is the place to get your locally grown produce. Of course the farmers’ market also features local crafts that range from jewelry to artwork, and locally prepared foods that range from salsa to sticky buns! And for our furry, four legged friends you can always get locally made gourmet cat treats and gourmet dog treats from Spoiled Pet Cafe. Don’t be fooled by the slick advertising of the big chain stores, or the eye catching but wasteful packaging of the commercial treat producers, our treats are:

1. Properly Licensed
2. Properly Labeled
3. Preservative Free – this is why our treats must be refrigerated or frozen
4. Additive Free – no dyes, easy to read, familiar ingredients
5. Locally Made – this helps to support both the local economy and the environment
6. Never Frozen by us – though you, the consumer, may choose to freeze the treats to prolong their lifespan, we do not!

Spoiled Pet Cafe is always excited to share images from recent farmers’ markets that we participate in. This can give visitors to the website, who may not be familiar with the Knoxville Market Square Farmers’ Market, a taste of what the different events we participate in are like. While there are many different farmers’ markets around the country, they all tend to have their own flavor. We also think it is fun for market visitors to be able to see themselves on our slideshow. We hope you enjoy the Spoiled Pet Cafe slideshow from the June 19th market.

Spoiled Pet Cafe Visitors At Knoxville's New Harvest Park Farmers' Market

Once again Spoiled Pet Cafe will be vending at Knoxville’s New Harvest Park Farmers’ Market on Thursday, July 8th. As usual we will have both our gourmet dog treats and gourmet cat treats. Remember that we don’t use any preservatives in our treats so it is important to refrigerate or freeze them within a couple of days of buying them. Many dogs and cats actually prefer cold treats as they can be soothing to the gums. Another benefit is that harder treats can help to effectively remove tarter from those pearly whites!

We hope you enjoy the image to the right of a couple of recent visitors to our booth!

Plenty of Fresh Water

With the 4th of July celebrations just a couple of days away, Spoiled Pet Cafe wanted to remind our loyal customers (and our new ones!) that today is the perfect opportunity to pick up fresh produce, artisan breads, and of course tasty dog treats and cat treats. By picking up those locally produced products today, you can cross that chore off the long holiday ‘to do’ list!

The holiday usually means cookouts, outdoor games, and quality family time. While most of us are aware of the dangers the long, hot summer days can pose to people, there are similar dangers for our beloved animal companions. The American Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (ASPCA) just released these tips to help keep your family pets safe:

Made in the Shade
Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful to not over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

Know the Warning Signs
Symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse, seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit, along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees. Remember, animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively.

No Parking!
Never leave animals alone in a parked vehicle. “On a hot day, a parked car can become a furnace in no time—even with the windows open—which could lead to fatal heat stroke,” says Dr. Louise Murray, Director of Medicine at ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. Leaving pets unattended in cars in extreme weather is illegal in several states.

Beware of “High Rise Syndrome”
“During warmer months, we see an increase in injured animals as a result of ‘High-Rise Syndrome,’ which occurs when pets fall out of windows or doors and are seriously or fatally injured,” says Dr. Murray. This condition is completely preventable. Keep all unscreened windows or doors in your home closed and make sure adjustable screens are tightly secured.

Summer Style
Giving a dog a summer haircut—not too short, so they still have some protection from the sun—and brushing cats can prevent problems caused by excessive heat. As far as skin care, be sure that any sunscreen or insect repellent product you use on your pets is labeled specifically for use on animals.

Additional tips can be found on the Hot Weather Tips section of their website!

We hope everyone has a safe and fun-filled holiday weekend. The New Harvest Park Farmers’ Market runs every Thursday through November from 3-6 pm.
