Pets and People
is a group of students, staff and faculty and their pets from the Kansas
State Veterinary College that is interested in demonstrating the
human-animal bond. We are a subgroup of the American Animal Hospital
Association (AAHA) providing educational and therapy opportunities to
local schools and nursing homes. All pets used in this program have passed the Delta
Society Pet Partners temperament test to ensure the safety of all participants.
Nursing Home Visitation
Program: Our pet visitation program takes
student/faculty owned pets and school blood donor animals into area
nursing homes for regularly scheduled visits once a month to each of
three homes (St. Joseph, Stoneybrook, and Meadowlark).
Educational Program:
We provide several programs on basic pet care, exotics, and
environmental issues to area elementary and middle schools. The programs
can be tailored to fit the needs of the individual class. The
presentations are made utilizing the available visual aids and
temperament tested animals.
