Joan Robinson from the Grand River Veterinary Hospital visited to teach girls about the proper care for their pets. She also brought along 2 canine friends - Canon and Caber!. The girls learned about the importance of correct handing, feeding, grooming, exercise and medical care for their pets; signs of illness and what to do if their pet is sick or hurt; how to determine the right type and amount of food their pet needs; and what happens when a pet visits the vet.
Each girl also shared photos and something special about their pet.
Girls wishing to finish the badge need to care for a pet for at least 2 weeks and return the chart provided with a parent/guardian signature and a list of the tasks they did to care for their pet.
