This show, which aired on Animal Planet from 2002 to 2005, is hosted by Mario Lopez, who is joined by a panel of celebrity judges as the show searches for the best pet performances. Each week, animals and their trainers or owners demonstrate their unique abilities and compete against other pets in front of a live studio audience. Weekly winners receive $2,500 and a chance to be in the final showdown when all 15 finalists compete for $25,000 in cash and prizes, and the ultimate pet star is crowned.
