Following a successful launch in 2010, the indoor LovePets 2011 show was bigger and better. There was an even larger range of products and services to look at and buy with over 100 exhibitors and stalls present. The eye catching animal fun and games in the main arena and hall on both days were a hit with visitors, ranging from the amazing voice of Pippa Langthorne and her puppy Buddy, to the tranquil Pets as Therapy who graced the Zoflora arena.

TV Vet Marc Abraham was one of the star attractions at the 2011 show. An active promoter of responsible pet ownership, Marc has appeared on some of the biggest animal TV shows, including BBC1’s Animal Rescue Live and Channel 4’s It’s Me Or the Dog and The Paul O’Grady Show. Also appearing was dog trainer to the stars, Karen Wild. Karen has been described as the ‘Rock Star of Dog Training’. She has numerous celebrity clients, including Celebrity Big Brother star Nicola Tappenden, TV presenter and journalist Dawn Porter and TV presenter Davina McCall. Other attractions included The British Rabbit Council, The Kennel Club, The Cats Protection League, who featured a special cat re-homing scheme and Gizmo the parrot who famously appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean!
