Creatures great and small are descending on London's Royal Victoria Dock this weekend for the National Pet Show, to the delight of animal fanatics and kiddies across London and far beyond.

Dogs, cats, rats, rabbits, reptiles, ponies, fish, chickens,micro pigs, bearded dragons, shetland ponies, chinchillas - you name it - you'll find it at the National Pet Show flaunting its stuff in front of animal experts and celebrities, including Channel 4s Superset Professor Noel Fitzpatrick and BBC's Spring and Autumn Watch presenter Michaela Strachan, hosting SuperDogs.

Visitors looking for the perfect critter to take home with them, or just to enjoy the amazing animal performances taking place all over the place, can meet and get advice from experts, owners and breeders.

Watch amazing animal performances including dog skateboarding dogs, live duck herding or a wonderful performance to the Lion King by Nimbus the American Miniature Horse with Jack Russells Jack, Jacob and Jessica, birds of prey displays including beautiful owls and SuperDogs Live. Forget Britain's Got Talent. If you want to watch something really special this weekend, head over to ExCel and -- just maybe -- head home with a brand new friend.
