This summer, with the help of our trusted pet care advisors, little pet lovers can set off on an adventure into responsible pet ownership.
Each week brings a new theme, helping children discover everything pets need to feel safe, happy, and healthy. From food and treats to grooming, exercise, and habitats, children will learn fun new facts while building confidence along the way.
Children can enjoy hands-on games and activities, plus the opportunity to meet our furry friends.
