How it works
Animals need food, water, a safe home and gentle hands.
A pet needs care every single day.
Always ask a grown-up before you pat a pet you do not know.
Worked examples
Food and water
- Nibble the hamster likes seeds and a little fruit.
- Pour them into a small bowl.
- Fill the water bottle with fresh water.
A cozy home
- Nibble's cage is his home, with soft bedding, a tiny house and a wheel.
- He curls up in his house.
- Kit whispers, sleep well.
Ask first
- Kit sees a big brown dog on a lead.
- He loves dogs, but he does not know this one.
- He asks his grown-up, may I pat the dog, please? The owner says yes, just be gentle.
Soft pat
- Pat the dog softly on the back.
- Its tail goes wag, wag!
- Gentle hands are kind.
