Learn how to take care of your small animal with our printable Care Sheets crafted by a board-certified Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and peer reviewed by a panel of veterinarians and industry subject matter experts. We also have information on preventing the transmission of infectious diseases.

There are many ways classroom pets can impact the lives of students. Our article on the Benefits of Classroom Pets and our Research page are great resources if you want to see how to incorporate a pet into your classroom. They are also great references for students who are writing persuasive essays or researching classroom pets!

Every teacher is eligible for only one initial store or rebate grant while in our program, and then our $50 sustaining grant each school year thereafter. Our sustaining grant was created to help with additional maintenance expenses associated with your classroom pet(s).

Each school year following the school year of your initial grant, simply log in to your account and select the sustaining grant. Directions for reimbursement will be on the sustaining grant certificate.
