Australian Veterinary Association PetPEP Program participation
Members of the team from Veterinary Happiness take part in the Australian Veterinary Associations ‘Pets and People Education Programme’ (PetPEP). This involves visiting local primary schools and promoting the responsible care of pets. We educate children from a young age in the care pets need to live a healthy and happy life and that it is a responsibility as well as enjoyable to own a pet. This is done on a voluntary basis to benefit the community and promote responsible pet care. The children really enjoy it and obtain a lot of really useful information to take home to their parents.
Story Dog Sponsorship
Story Dogs is an Australia-wide reading support program, where children are able to read to accredited dogs and their handlers in a fun, safe and judgement-free space. Their mission is to assist young children in becoming lifelong confident readers.
We are proud to be sponsors of our local Story Dog, Roy, who is a regular visitor with the children at Redland Bay State School. He provides the ultimate patient and attentive ear to the little ones learning to read.
