AN Evesham pet shop is once against hosting a school holiday event giving youngsters the chance to learn more about how to look after their animals.

Pets at Home Evesham will hold its My Pet Pals October activity club, a series of free pet workshops, providing children with the opportunity to learn more about how to keep their dogs, cats and small furries safe this winter and bonfire night.

The workshops will give kids hands on experience of looking after small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs, with advice on how to protect them when they are exposed to low temperatures, rain, wind and snow, as well as keeping them fed and watered.

There will also be a chance to learn what makes reflective material, reflective. From reflective coats to fluorescent collars, kids will find out the best ways to keep their dogs and cats visible during the dark winter evenings.
