Cites The Home Pets' Exhibition (Olympia, London) (12-14 December 1934).
Description:

'The great Home Pets Show, at Olympia, organised by "The People" in aid of the London Hospital, is over - and Britain has proved its deep, abiding love of animals by making the show the greatest success of its kind ever achieved.

How colossal the show was is revealed by the fact that during the three days it was held the 34,000 pets consumed about 76 tons of feeding stuffs!

Three hundred judges reviewed the 14 sections; 890 stewards and 475 attendants were engaged; and more than 5,000 dogs were on view.

...

... More than £10,000 was awarded in prize money. 

   Described by the veteran sportsman, Lord Lonsdale, as "the biggest thing of its kind ever held in the world," the show achieved a success which has staggered even the most optimistic of the organisers.

"Do let us do another show soon!" - This is the appeal that figures in almost every one of the thousands of letters that still continue to pour into "The People" from grateful animal lovers in all parts of the country.

Sir William Goschen, chairman of the London Hospital, warmly supported Lord Lonsdale, and pointed out how much the effort being made by "The People" was appreciated by all connected with the London Hospital.

Every imaginable kind of pet was to be found on show, from dogs to hedgehogs; cats to cavies; toucans to tortoises, foxes, fish, poultry, birds, etc.- fourteen section in all, each of absorbing interest.'
