PARENTS are invited to bring their children to a Barry pet store this October half-term.
A series of fun, free workshops will be staged at Pets at Home, in the Waterfront retail park from Monday, October 16 to Friday, October 27.
They aim to educate the next generation of pet owners on how to care for pets responsibly.
Workshops will teach children how to look after animals during the darker months and colder weather, including preparing small animals for hibernation, wearing reflective clothing when walking the dog, and keeping outdoor pets well-cared for.
Children will also get the chance to hold some pets in-store.
The workshops will run as part of the My Pet Pals Activity Club at Pets at Home in Barry during the autumn school holidays.
Pets at Home Barry store manager, Alex Jones said: “The My Pet Pals Autumn Activity Club is a great way for children to learn about the importance of responsible pet ownership, and how pet care can change throughout the autumn and winter seasons. Even if your child doesn’t have a pet, they can still learn and interact with pets for free.”
