Hundreds of pet lovers and their pets descended on Saturday to the ScotiaBank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls for an incredible event meant to educate, entertain and highlight all the pet products, services and support companies in the region and beyond.

Pet celebrities were also a big draw to the show…below, Hulk the “gentle giant”  and “world’s most famous pitbull” from DDK with his owner Marlon who says Hulk is a family dog who is a little on the lean side right now at 165 pounds!
