Really enjoyed visiting the National Pet Show…read more Thanks to Victoria from Yelp Birmingham for sorting tickets. Hall 20 is quite a walk from Birmingham International railway station but I knew where I was going to it wasn't so bad. Lots of lovely animals to look at great for kids to see pets they might not have pestered their parents for previously. It looses a star for being far to warm in the hall but I presume the building doors can't be opened in the same way that they can for regular events. Was glad to see lots of water available for the animals to try and correct this. Well worth a visit for an afternoon!

As someone who doesn't have a pet (sad face) I was super excited to go down to the National Pet…read moreShow and see the variety of animals on offer. I love animals, but living in a one bed flat (and being almost constantly out), my lifestyle doesn't lend itself to keeping a pet at home. The National Pet Show was being held at the NEC in hall 20. If you've been to the National Exhibition Centre before you'll know it's a bit of a labyrinth. Hall 20 is right down the other end of the centre from the train station, so it's about a 10 - 15 minute walk from Birmingham International. Outside the show was a small desk where you could enter a competition to win lots of different prizes, however these were all orientated towards pet owners (free food, bed etc), so we gave this a miss. Once in, there was animals everywhere! Lots of cats, dogs, rabbits to the more unusual lizards, Degu's and chickens! We did a bit of a circle around the hall and checked out the ferret rescue, before making our way around lots of different pet related merchandise. We ended up seeing donkeys, ponies and alpacas before and getting to the dog shows. There must have been around 30+ different breeds of dog to stroke and admire. After this section was the cats! There wasn't as many different types of feline, but they were all totally gorgeous and very friendly. The owners of all of the animals were brilliant; answering questions and giving insights into the quirks of each breed. After the bigger pets came the "small furries". As a huge rat fan, I was pleased to see the "National Association Of Fancy Rat Owners" were in attendance, as well as a showing from guinea pigs, rabbits and degu's. As well as the furry side of pets, there was a lovely stand from the "National Chicken Rescue" where little chicks were happily chirping away and "Wierd'N'Wonderful" who had bought along a brilliant selection of lizards, scorpions and spiders to look at. I have to admit, it seems as though we missed the cheese, wine and other bits and pieces that have been mentioned in the reviews! We did catch some of the "rabbit show jumping" (Which was quite a sight) before calling it a day. I had a lovely hour and a half petting the animals and chatting to the owners, but this is definitely a show geared up towards small children and pet owners. Don't get me wrong, I would revisit; but if you're a pet person or have small kids - this is a must go!

Secondly the proceeds from the vet practice all go to the Cramar Cat Sanctuary which is also on site - how cool is that?? The vets, Sarah and Ruth, are really good with my dog, remembering his name, history and genuinely caring about him. All of the nurses and the receptionist are also welcoming and you can see that they care about your pet by the way they interact with them. Prices are also very reasonable with consultations costing £21 and 3 months supply of Advocate for an extra large dog costing £35 - I have paid a LOT more than that at other vets. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Confession. I don't have a pet. I don't even like animals very much to be honest. However, recently…read moremy sister acquired a puppy and since then I've needed the old doggy treat. I popped into this store not too long ago and was astounded by the amount of stuff pets might need. That stuff has been produced and all of it is here. This is a huge double fronted shop that stocks anything and everything your pet pooch, and every other domesticated animal under the sun, would need. The prices seem reasonable and there were some very helpful staff knocking around assisting customers ad hoc. I picked up some dog treats for a great price. If you are into pets then this is the place for you!

Grooming, cleansing, colouring, (including dip-dye!), and pawdicures are all available here for the special canine in your life. Or you can choose from comprehensive treatments like The Trimmed Eyre, The Darling Darcy, The Original Austin or The Bingley Entree. (Which all include an external health check.) How much? The Darling Darcy for a medium sized smooth coated dog is just £28. This means that the rates make getting a dog groomed here an affordable regular activity rather than the reserve of the uber-posh. And while you're here-Accessorize, dahhhling. Cute neckerchiefs with flags, floral patterns and safari animal prints for Wolfie's neck, a big range of cool clothes, and the cutest thing EVER-A pink and white bunny onesie for the smallest of toy dogs. The displays are what you'd expect from a designer boutique, while again the prices are kind on your pocket. If you share your life with a dog and you live in Worcester you are lucky. If you live in a 30 mile radius it's well worth the drive. You'll love it in here and your dog will love you for loving it.
