October 30 is Kids’ Day at The Drake Center!

Monday, September 26th, 2011

Kids’ Day is a fun-filled event for children who love animals.

Every month, we invite curious youngsters behind the scenes of our working veterinary hospital. Each participant dresses up in a lab coat and gloves and helps our veterinarian perform a routine physical examination.  The kids get to use a stethoscope, look at slides through a microscope, examine cool radiographs and learn about general pet care.  Each child will also go home with a small gift!

The event is free and open to all children ages 5-12 by reservation.  Space is limited and a parent or guardian must attend the event with the child.

The next Kids’ Day event will be held Sunday, October 30 from 3-4 p.m.  For more information or to make your reservation, call The Drake Center at (760) 753-9393 or email clientservices@thedrakecenter.com.
