During the Easter holidays, children are invited to Mansfield Pets at Home store to take part in free activities, including crafting finger puppets and completing their own activity sheets.

Children will also get an opportunity to meet pets when in-store pet care advisors will teach attendees how to handle small animals like guinea pigs, hamsters, and rats with care.

At the end of the interactive workshop, children will receive a My Pet Pals certificate and a sticker to take home.

Free workshops will run for 45 minutes from 2pm on Saturday 5^th and Sunday 6^th April, and from Saturday 12^th to Saturday, 19^th April.

Dr Samantha Butler-Davies, MRCVS Veterinary Services director at Pets at Home, said: “My Pet Pals workshops are here again for the Easter holidays! This free initiative offers children across the UK essential knowledge on how to care for small animals, with the help of our knowledgeable in-store pet care advisors.

“Over the years, more than 400,000 kids have taken part in the My Pet Pals programme, highlighting our dedication to educating the next generation about responsible pet ownership.”
