Over 58.4 million animals are kept as pets in the UK*, so it’s important we understand what they need to be happy and healthy. Does your class know how to care for their pets?

This set of activities aims to make children aware of pets as living animals with needs and feelings. They’ll learn that pets should be handled carefully and only when it is appropriate to do so.

They’ll also investigate the responsibility of pet owners to meet the needs of their pets and to keep them happy and healthy.

Included in this resource pack

  • Initial teacher input with ideas for adult-led and child-initiated activities
  • Learning outcomes and Vocabulary
  • Useful websites and factsheet
  • 4 x teachers’ notes and activity sheets
