Schools - Teacher’s Pet Competition
To encourage participation in a really fun and educational event for children, we are running a competition looking for the best ‘Love is...’ scrap book.
We are asking teachers to work with their pupils to create a scrap book to reflect this year’s theme – ‘Love is...’ The theme is about caring for our pets properly and celebrating the unique relationship we have with them.
The scrap book can be filled with photographs, poems, stories, drawings and don’t forget to include the National Pet Month’s top 10 tips for responsible pet ownership which are:
- Think carefully before getting a pet and learn about its special requirements.
- Ensure your pet is sociable and well trained.
- Provide a nutritious and well balanced diet.
- Provide suitable housing and bedding.
- Clean up after your pet and worm it regularly.
- Protect against disease. Your vet can provide you with advice.
- Prevent unwanted litters and neuter your pet when appropriate.
- Groom your pet regularly.
- Control your pet and ensure it is properly identified.
- Take out pet insurance for dogs, cats and horses to cover against unexpected veterinary fees and third party liability.
