What students will experience
Guided visits, demonstrations and conversations with professionals help students understand the work behind animal care and consider their own interests.
Animal care & grooming
Watch professional demonstrations of daily care and grooming. Learn why hygiene and handling standards matter, and compare the work of animal-care professionals with that of a vet.
Animal welfare & behaviour
Discuss animal welfare and the responsibilities of caring for animals. Consider how professionals respond to animals’ needs and how this differs from simply enjoying their company.
