Rupert’s Simply Smoochable Doggy and Kitty Mouth Spray
This is our 2nd year at the St. Louis Pet Lovers' Expo. Like last year, we gained a lot of exposure to those who were not aware of Three Dog Bakery and have since seen many customers coming in to our location with the free pupcake cards we handed out at the Expo. We feel like the Expo opens our doors to those outside of our immediate area who would not otherwise have been aware of us. We sold enough product to more than cover the direct cost of the booth and gained an immeasurable amount of good publicity and have already reserved our booth for next year. And….we had a lot of fun meeting so many nice people and their pets!
Three Dog Bakery
The St. Louis Pet Expo was a fantastic event. We loved meeting the many breeds roaming around the convention center. The St. Charles convention center was the perfect venue to host such an event, because it is spacious with an excellent staff. There were a ton of vendors who rew in a large crowd. I would definitely recommend the St. Louis Pet Expo.

We had a great time. We did several adoptions and raised a lot of money for the APA. Thanks for having us!

“We had a blast!! Had my dachshund Bo and my 17 month daughter Taylor. We loved all the exhibits and our favorite was pictures with Santa.”
“We at Missouri Lost & Found Paws had a great time once again! It is a great opportunity for us to reach new people to learn about our organization.

Thanks for hosting another fun event. We look forward to next year - we already bought our spot for next year”
“Brought the kids and our pound pup. She is 11. It was her first time and she was exhausted by the time we got home. I greatly appreciated the convenient and discounted vaccination and free nail trim. She was too excited at the event to try treats but i have been sharing them since she has come home and she loves them. I also loved the online shopping bonus that allows me to shop and donate a portion of sales to the shelter. That is such a wonderful idea. We will attend again.”
“My first year and it was very interesting. Loved how everything a person could possibly need for their dog is all right there. And of course..Chanel loved the treats! So many dogs attended and well trained as well and so beautiful. I love dogs! I bought some doggie booties for Chanel for snow and when the ground gets super hot like blacktops in summer. I think it was a very good buy. I can use the booties in winter and summer.”
“Loved getting to see so many puppies”
“Yes! Was there! Loved it! First time and i will go next yr! I love seeing all the pups and wanted to bring one off mine but not this yr. I loved all the free treats and raffles! I even won 1! I had a blast!”

“I loved seeing the huge great dane on Sunday and the little pig that was cruising the expo!”
“I loved the attractions, the new booths, Sammy the piggy in the stroller, but most of all the puppy therapy I got from sitting in the floor with the fur babies! Thanks SO much for doing this! My fur children got lots of great treats brought home to them.”
“Was a great event. Our basset girl loved the agility area. Had a booth as well for our rescue, I have to say with it being two days Sat 10-6 was extremely long. May shorten till 5. Sundays time was good.”
