	Media	Author	Review
		Nick Schager Variety	"[An] uninspired family film (...) Its frantic pace should make it a mildly amusing diversion for the younger set, but its juvenile imagination (...) is likely to drive anyone over the age of 7 barking mad."
		Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] manages to avoid being taken for the runt of the litter (...) It's ultimately the characterizations that give the production a paw up on the competition"
		Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"If 'Show Dogs' sometimes betrays its shaggy charms, there is comfort in remembering that many movies are much dumber than this one"
		Robert Abele The Wrap	"Sloppy, unfunny comedy (...) You just feel sorry for the featured canines"
		Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"'Show Dogs' is pretty standard, though less annoying than most (...) That the comedy is second-rate is a given. But at least it’s brisk, inoffensive, and devoid of human mugging"
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"[An] amusing, featherweight family comedy (...) It all plays out a bit randomly"
		Peter Hartlaub Toronto Star	"'Show Dogs' is really bad, even for a talking dog movie (...) There’s almost no sense of pacing (…) Rating: 0 (out of 4)"
		Brad Wheeler The Globe and Mail	"'Show Dogs' is one more semi-adorable family comedy with a canine lead (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
