Everything you need for a fun day out with your pet
Animal lovers big and small enjoyed a day of festivities and delights last weekend at NParks’ second-ever Pets’ Day Out, which was held once again in conjunction with their signature monthly event, Gardeners’ Day Out! This time, the event featured a special junior edition, with many activities for children and adults alike to learn how to be responsible pet owners.

Children (aged 7-14 years old) who registered in advance had the opportunity to learn about basic pet care through Petzania, a workshop that allowed children to role-play various occupations in the pet industry, which included groomers, trainers, scholars, and veterinarians.
