PARENTS in Ruislip are invited to take their children to a series of free pet workshops at the Pets at Home store in Victoria Road at half-term.

The aim is to educate the next generation on how to care for pets responsibly.

The Creature Care-themed workshops take place from October 22 to November 2 and will cover a range of pets.

Children will learn about the five welfare needs – shelter, food and water, good health, appropriate company and the right living environment – and get the chance to interact with some pets.

Olivia-Lee McAlpine, store manager at Ruislip said: “Our expert colleagues will offer tips on pet care while making the workshops inter-active and educational.”
