FurFest 2025: Therpup Dog Cafe Whitefield Hosts Its First-Ever Pet Festival

On the 14th of September, Therpup Dog Cafe in Whitefield hosted their first-ever FurFest. The event ran from 11 am to 5 pm and had a footfall of over 150 pet parents.

The cafe had everything a pet parent could hope for: delicious food, a pool exclusively for the doggos, and plenty of open space for them to run around and play.

There was also an obstacle course where pets and their parents could try challenges you usually see on dog shows or TV. A big highlight was the trampoline, where pet parents hopped on with their pups. The joy on their faces was priceless.

The event was sponsored by Namma Yatri. They created an adorable photo booth using auto cutouts. Pet parents loved posing with their pups “driving” the autos. There was also a live caricature artist sketching portraits of pets with their parents, which made for some treasured keepsakes.

Therpup Dog Cafe had lined up a variety of fun activities that kept both humans and pets on their toes all day. The event was emceed by Dhanush Devang, who kept the energy high and the crowd entertained throughout.

Happy Pet At FurFest

Happy Pet Team At The Event

For us at Happy Pet, this event was extra special. We had our very first stall in Bangalore where we showcased our merchandise. To our delight, our T-shirts were a huge hit and sold out two hours before the event wrapped up. Our Club T-shirt series got so much love that we had to move sales online after stocks ran out. We also pitched our pet parent app to the community and were thrilled to see over 25 new downloads that day.



One of the most insightful takeaways was that nearly 98 percent of pet parents still use notebooks to track their pets’ records. When they learned about our pet parent app, many were excited about shifting to digital tracking. They were especially intrigued by our “Tinder for Dogs” feature, which helps set up playdates for pups.
