We will be at The Pet Show at Stoneleigh Park next weekend (20th and 21st July) helping celebrate how pets enrich our lives. If you're at the show do come and say hello - we'll be on the Pet Education Trust stand, and we'd love to meet you.

Here's more information from the show's organisers:

The UK’s largest pet show set to open its doors with headline performers

The Pet Show will become the UK’s largest multi-pet event when it opens it doors to some 20,000 people, in a 21,000 square metre event location, over the weekend of 20th and 21st July.

Visitors to The Pet Show will also get to experience a record number of exhibitors, with over 180 stands occupied by different attractions and activities, separated out by animal type.

The event, which takes place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, will also boast a variety of stunning live performances, including Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh and Pudsey.

Some of the unique displays visitors will enjoy, include;

•Britain’s Got Talent Winners Ashleigh & Pudsey - the champions of the 2012 show come to The Pet Show to perform at the grand opening, as well as a special routine on both days.

•Micro-Pig Racing - watch the UK’s hottest new pets as they trot down a miniature racing course, demonstrating just how much fun these cute little guys can be.

•Pet expert Dr. Daniel Allen - featured on ITV and the BBC recently, Dr. Allen will be available to answer visitor questions throughout the show.

•Smokey, the World’s Loudest Purring Cat - certified by Guinness, Smokey will be purring her heart out at the show, demonstrating just why her award is well deserved!

There’s plenty more to see besides, including unique halls devoted to different animal types, such as The Stables, which will feature everything an equestrian could need and The Kennels, where dog owners can take their own pet to mingle with the experts.
