The Fur, Feathers & Fins™ program allows children to learn about the characteristics and habitats of fish, reptiles, birds, and small animals. At your local PETCO, lessons in science, math and geography come to life through this hands-on field trip. As students develop a respect for animals, they will also develop a greater sense of responsibility.

The FREE Fur, Feathers & Fins field trip will help children in grades Pre-K – 8 develop and enhance skills in:

Basic needs for animal care
• Animal habitats and characteristics
• Environmental issues and animal survival
• Animal respect
• Reading and science

Trained tour leaders modify the field trips to be grade appropriate. The field trips are 60-90 minutes in length and are limited to group sizes of 10-30 participants per tour – although this number varies by location.
