Animal Wellness World  is offering a Mini Vet School  on April 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for ages 9-14, so they can experience being a veterinarian firsthand. Each child will receive a stethoscope and scrub top and attend different activities. They will learn about a physical exam, horse care, surgery, X-rays, examining parasites under a microscope, dog obedience and behavioral training, and pet nutrition.

The event takes place on a 4-acre facility where both conventional and integrative veterinary medicine services are offered. “We focus on treating the whole animal, fostering a partnership with our clients and using all appropriate therapeutic options to achieve optimal wellness for their pet(s),” says Dr. Donna Ragona, DVM.

All the conventional, routine services are offered: exams, vaccinations, teeth cleaning, urgent care and surgery.
