The Pet Show

A perfect day out for any family that should definately be more than once a year!
The idea of the show was a great one and they had everything advertised however, there was too much going on in such a small space. They had a dog zone, cat zone, small furry animals and an aquatic zone. Each zone had different breeds, stalls to buy your pet gifts and and a stand for talks and presentations.
As the owner of a cat, I went straight to the cat zone. The cat zone had a beautiful collection of cat breeds from ragga muffins to the siberian. This area was a little on the cramped size and there was hardly any space to walk up and down the aisles. The zone hosted a toilet trainer stand, food stalls and cat bedding. Dog show jumping and doggy dancing in the Dog zone. Grooming and a rare organic dog food stall. Rottweilers, Poodles, Staffs, Bull dog terriers and dogs i’ve never heard or seen before. A noticable lack of fish in the acquatic zone and the small furry animals zone which hosted, hamsters, guineas pigs, and rabbits, was way to small.
In all, a great event but in a crap venue. There were too many caged animals with not enough room to breathe that made you feel really guilty for even attending!

I generally hate exhibitions, I got to them a lot and I associate them with over enthusiastic, strange people who don’t have anything better to do with their weekend. And then you have The Pet Show. A magical place where hordes of British pet lovers all come under one roof to watch Bunnie Olympics, stroke hairless cats and see a pug dog wearing a cowboy outfit. Oh yes, it’s that fabulous!
This has to be one of the most fun things to do on a weekend. If you are considering getting an animal, this is where I would go to find out what kind of pet I want. They have experts on everything and there are even different sections for all the different breeds of animals. It’s like a giant petting zoo, you can get hands on experience with a lot of the animals.
I will say now, it did get crazy busy, and it made me a little sad that some of the animals had to be in cages during the show, but overall I walked away having spent a couple of wonderful hours looking around at beautiful (and not so beautiful) animals!
