The event also includes agility demonstrations, certified therapy dogs, veterinarians from Purina and Penn Vet who can answer questions, andmore than 75 vendors offering pet products and services, along with free samples throughout the expo.
The show begins at 8 a.m. both days. Saturday's competition will air on NBC after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thanksgiving Day.
