The Easter holidays are fast approaching and can prove a challenge when it comes to finding fun activities for the children. Pets at Home has the answer, with its free interactive ‘My Pet Pals’ workshops, held in store during the Easter holidays*.
The workshops will focus on caring for small furries, such as guinea pigs, gerbils and rabbits, teaching children the responsibilities of owning them but also how rewarding these pets can be and how to care for them. Children will also learn how to interact with them safely too.
Taking place every day in stores across the UK* at 11.30am, the workshops are aimed at children between the ages of 5-11 and will be hosted by the friendly and knowledgeable Pets at Home pet care advisors. Pets at Home store manager, said: “The My Pet Pals workshops demonstrate how rewarding pets can be and how to care for them, making sure parents and kids understand pet welfare and responsible pet ownership. It’s a great way of learning how to keep small furries happy and healthy during a fun and hands-on experience!”
The workshops will cover the five key welfare needs for each - shelter, food and water, good health, appropriate company and the right 
living environment. Each workshop lasts 30 minutes and is free to attend. The free workshops will run every day during the Easter school holidays at 11.30am and bookings can be made at petsathome.com/petworkshops. All kids attending workshops will receive an exciting activity book, pet stickers and colouring sheets.
