🐰 School’s out – it’s time to play! Join the Pet Pals in-store this summer 2026 for our free workshops at Pet at Home stores from 2pm - 2.45pm. Book your free place today!

🗓 WHEN?
▪️17th July - 28th August 2026
▪️2pm - 2.45pm

🐹 WHAT TO EXPECT
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.

📜 What they'll earn
We'll present your pet lover with an official Pet Pals certificate & sticker, along with colouring sheets to keep the fun going at home.

🧒 For pet lovers aged 4-10 years
Our workshops are specifically geared towards younger children, with content and activities that are safe, supervised and most of all fun. To allow enough room for everyone (and avoid spooking our animals), places are limited to one adult per child.
