Storyline

This series on the Animal Planet cable network is a talent show for pets. Ten pet owners have their pets perform a specific trick. Among the contestants on the first show were a roller skating macaw; a dog that plays hockey, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig that painted pictures with a brush, and a girl who hypnotized her pet frog. Each pet/owner team is rated on a scale of 1-10 by three celebrity judges (with new judges each week). The three teams with the highest scores are finalists; the winner is chosen by a vote of the audience. The winning owner receives $2,500 and is eligible for the end-of-season finals and a chance to win $25,000.

User Reviews

A very good and cool show!

I was amazed at these animals that come on this show called Pet Star. Animal Planet's show is quite entertaining.As a lover of all animals I loved it when there was a whole bunch of different little animals such as dogs,cats,pigs,birds,primates,horses,raccoons,lobsters,and other great animals.There are celeb judges that score a 1 top 10 with 10 being the best.In the three top spots the audience then votes who they thought performed the best.The top owner and animal with win $2500 and will go on to the $25.000 contest.Each season boasts over a hundred different animals.I really think this show this is really cool and I think it neat to see animals doing some extreme and crazy things.The new season is coming up shortly and check it soon and watch older episodes now on Animal Planet!
