The Puppy Bowl is an annual broadcast by Animal Planet that coincides with the Big Game. For its fifth year, the Bowl will feature over a dozen rough and tumble puppies of all breeds romping around a small “field” with cameras catching every playful minute. It will also bring back the cute “tailgating puppies” from the third year, and will introduce Pepper the Parrot, who will sing a unique rendition of the National Anthem!

The Bissel Kitty Halftime Show was introduced in the second year of the Bowl and was an instant hit (how could it not be?).

The half-hour halftime show involves kittens playing around on kitty trees and batting at toys (and each other), and ends with a blast of confetti and streamers.

The best part of all (aside from all the adorable puppies and kittens) is that all the animals in the show are available for adoption after the big day!

So are you going to watch?

Feedback Friday: Are You Going to Watch the Puppy Bowl?

Every year for the last few years Animal Planet has been broadcasting their Puppy Bowl pre-game show. Tune in Sunday, February 3 from 3-6 PM (ET/PT) to see puppies of all breeds do what puppies do best: frolic, tumble, and make you say awww!

From baby beagles to mini dachshunds to mixed breeds — viewers are in for a fantastic lineup that’s itching to play in a winning combination of tackles, puppy penalties and fido first downs. The renowned Harry Kalas, voice of NFL Films, returns to call the play-by-plays of this year’s game.

Cat lovers aren’t left out either. The half-time show, sponsored by Bissell (who else?) – will feature kittens on a glittery stage chasing each other and batting toys around.

Check out the puppy lineup and even find out about the shelters they come from!

And for the first time this year the program will be broadcast in hi-def.
