This year's London Pet Show, which was held in Earls Court Two over May 12th and 13th, has delighted the nation's animal lovers and pet owners with a combination of entertainment and education on the spectacular variety of animals present. The event, which returned for a highly anticipated second year, was obliged to move the the larger Earls Court venue to meet the popular demand for larger displays and a greater number of animals on show.
The Show was divided into four zones, which were devoted to cats, dogs, aquatics and exotics, and the reliably crowd-pleasing small furries. The general public was able to see a wide array of different species and breeds, chat with owners and experts, and enjoy presentations and demonstrations on the care of the animals in question. The Show also welcomed more unconventional animals including miniature ponies, armadillos, meerkats, pygmy hedgehogs and micro pigs.
The opening ceremony saw celebrity dog dancers Donelda Guy, Jackie Prescott and Mary Ray put on a display for the crowds with their remarkably talented pets, and the crowds were also treated to entertaining animal action displays which included dancing dogs, rabbit showjumping and duck herding border collies throughout the weekend. It is anticipated that such entertaining displays and the well-regarded educational elements of the event will fuel demand for a third London Pet Show next year.
