Hopelands Prep Visits the Vets!

An exciting trip to Stonehouse Vets resulted in the children being immersed into the world of stethoscopes, thermometers, and the huge importance of animal care.

Under the careful guidance of the vet the children loved being able to listen to a dog’s heartbeat, understand how to centrifuge blood and separate plasma, examine x-rays, and learn about all the different tools and instruments which vets use to help animals and look after their health. The highlight was discovering how vets take an animal’s temperature!

The children came back excited, inspired, and appreciative of what a difference people can make within the community. Thank you to Stonehouse Vets for enabling such a fantastic insight.
