Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine - Oregon State University's Pet Day will be held on the Oregon State campus this Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Pet Day is free and open to the public! There are lots of fun activities including teddy bear surgery, kid zone, Picasso puppy painting, nail trim education and more. Dozens of booths will be staffed by vendors and volunteers who provide information on animal health and wellness, nutrition, adoption and therapy. Our charitable foundation, the Animal Health Foundation of Oregon, is a proud sponsor of this event!
Pet Day is created, organized and staffed by students in the Gary R. Carlson, MD, College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University. This is their way of giving back to the community and continuing a legacy of public service at the college.
A few activities like the Purina 5K Fun Run and kid zone have small fees. Free parking is available at the west end of Reser Stadium. Learn more: https://events.oregonstate.edu/event/osu-pet-day
