As part of our commitment to promoting responsible pet care in our local area, our Qualified Veterinary Nurses have been visiting primary schools in the Essex region.

 

The talk is of an interactive basis aimed at children in reception classes, key stage 1 and 2. The children have a chance to meet staff pets, ‘Murdock’ (a cute CKCS) and ‘Barney’ (a cool but cuddly Chihuahua) have been very popular!

 

The children get chance to dress up and pretend to be Vets and Nurses, practicing ‘make believe’ surgery and bandaging on a stuffed toy dog. The talk is structured using a power point presentation lasting about an hour and the children are encouraged to ask lots of questions. There is a chance to see preserved parasites, handle some preserved bones, and listen to the dog’s heart with a stethoscope.

 

 

We are always happy to schedule a visit and can tailor talks to older age ranges if required! Should you require any further information or interested in a ‘School Visit’ please contact Hannah Almond RVN.
