It’s that time of the year again – National Pet Month starts tomorrow, with the aim of promoting responsible pet ownership to both current and prospective pet owners across the country.
What we’re doing to celebrate this year
This year, we have asked four of our students to write their top tips for responsible pet ownership for different pet species and we will be sharing one each week. Check back on our blog or social media each week to read their thought.
- Week 1 – Level 3 dog grooming student, Jake, will be sharing his top ten tips for looking after dogs.
- Week 2 – Second year veterinary nursing degree student, Georgette, shares her advice for responsible cat ownership.
- Week 3 – Level 2 animal care student (and fish enthusiast), Charlotte, will be looking at responsible fish keeping.
- Week 4 – Level 2 Veterinary Care student, Mari, Shares her top tips for keeping Rabbits.
During National Pet Month our students are also raising money for StreetVet – we will bring you details of activities that they are organising and taking part in in due course. StreetVet is a charity that provides free veterinary care to the pets of people experiencing homelessness. It is a wonderful cause because it not only helps ensure the health and wellbeing of these pets but also brings comfort and companionship to their owners during challenging times. You can learn more about their incredible work and donate to the cause here.
Our pets give us so much and are reliant on us to meet their physical and emotional needs; they deserve the very best of care to enable them to live happy and fulfilling lives.
Happy National Pet Month!
