Testimonials
Sybil and her team really did a great job from organizing the field trip for our K1 students. They were able to extend their knowledge of what they know about hamsters and find out more during the program. After they came back from school, they can't stop talking about how much they want to go for the field trip!
Thank you Animals & Us team for the furr-tastic programme, Petastic Youth! Our Young Adult Activities! (YAA!) members and caregivers had a paw-some time learning about rabbits, cats, and hamsters and of course, meeting our special furry friends. We greatly appreciate your open communication, detailed organization, and flexible approach toward working together for the first time!
The facilitators are all very professional with their delivery, taking into account students' profile and inclinations to customise their content throughout the whole programme.
We would like to extend a warm thank you to Dr Han, a veterinarian, from the Animals and Us Academy for organizing an amazing zoom session for the p1s and p2s of Meridian Primary School. Not only was the session very informative but it was also very interesting. It made learning so much more fun for our young learners. The talk was very clear and concise and could hold the students' attention throughout the interactive and engaging session. It was a great job done and we are looking forward to having more of such sessions with you, Dr Han.
Dr Han and his team were very welcoming and interactive towards the children. They were also very patient in answering every child’s question. The sessions were very informative and presented well. The relevance of story and the showcased animal was spot on, could tell the kids learnt a lot from that one animal. Even after the session, the children were still talking about the animal and looked forward to the next session. Dr Han and his team did a great job! 👍🏻
Great programme for kids! Especially for curious kids who love dogs but want to learn more.
Great job! It's a good avenue for kids to be sure what they are signing up for before getting a pet which will reduce chances of abandoned pets.

Our Programmes
'Friends of Animals' Workshops (Ages 6-12)
Discover the fascinating world of pet animals, how unique each of them can be, and how you can provide suitable pet care and husbandry for them to live an enriched life.
Every animal is unique and has different needs. Foods that may be yummy for one species might be toxic to another. Activities that might seem fun to us might be stressful, or even dangerous, for an animal.
Being informed about their specific needs is the beginning of a more enriched and fulfilling pet-owning experience.
'Keeping Animals Healthy' Workshops (Ages 6-12)
Dive into the world of pet animals, learn about some common health issues and how you can prevent them so your pets can live a happy, healthy life.
Vets see pets for various health problems and some of these issues could have been prevented with suitable pet care. Specific needs of our pet animals at different stages of their lives also differ and as pet owners, being aware of these needs will help our pets live a healthy life.
