Parents in Barrow are invited to bring their children to a series of free workshops which will educate the next generation of pet owners on how to care for pets responsibly.

The “Creature Care” themed workshops take place from October 22 to November 2 and will teach kids how to care for lots of different pets. Children will learn about the five welfare needs – shelter, food and water, good health, appropriate company and the right living environment – and even get the chance to interact with some pets in-store.

Naomi Mozdzynski, store manager at Pets at Home Barrow, said: “Our Creature Care workshops are designed to teach young pet lovers about responsible pet ownership, whilst having lots of fun at the same time.

“Our expert colleagues will offer tips and advice on pet care, whilst making the workshops both interactive and educational.
