Dog Safety in our Schools

Vet Anna and her sidekick Minnie were out visiting Hawera Primary School today, giving a talk on dog safety. We have implemented this programme to educate children about safe ways to behave around dogs in an effort to reduce the shocking number of dog bites incurred by children.

We have now visited all primary schools in our Taranaki Vet area, reaching over 2000 children!

We will continue to visit these schools every two years, targeting the year 1 and 2 students.
