Oscar the Show Director commented: “We’re committed to delivering the biggest show for pets. By offering a platform that’s curated with utmost welfare standards, for a fun and educational family experience. It’s focussed on promoting conscientious and responsible pet ownership. All pets offer us enrichment, deliver health benefits and give us ‘self-worth’ by offering kindness to a different species. Plus, pets increasingly offer an ’antidote’ to technology overload.” 

ITV’s This Morning Vet Scott Miller added: “It’s no surprise that Londoners are so passionate about pets, science proves how all animals but particularly dogs and cats lower our stress levels, make us smile more, give us purpose and companionship. I’m excited to be hosting the main stage at London Pet Show Live as promoting responsible ownership, choosing the right pet for your accommodation, lifestyle and experience. But also highlighting why considering a rescue pet is highly recommended as re-homing charities like Battersea and Dogs Trust are at bursting point”.
