The National Dog Show by Purina is the most widely viewed dog show in America. It is broadcast nationwide in high definition on NBC on Thanksgiving Day immediately following the Macy's Parade. It reaches an audience of nearly 20 million viewers each year and is rapidly becoming an important American holiday tradition.

This two hour family entertainment special has become a major event in the dog show world. Hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia during its annual cluster of dog shows which are sanctioned by the American Kennel Club, AKC, the show attracts over 2,000 of the top show dogs from across the country. Over 150 different breeds and varieties compete for best of Breed, First in Group and the coveted title of Best in Show at the National Dog Show Presented by Purina.

The show is hosted by John O’Hurley, former Seinfeld star, winner of Dancing with the Stars and purebred owner, with expert commentary by David Frei, the "dean of dog show commentators."
