Hundreds of students in The Bahamas can now answer questions that might stump their parents about pet care, thanks to a series of virtual chats by the Pet Food Institute (PFI).
The Washington, D.C.-based trade association’s Bahamian representatives took to Zoom this week to share information with students at Queen’s College in Nassau as part of a new virtual series of campus visits.
“The kids were amazing,” said PFI representative Hope Sealey, whose talk focused on understanding which foods were safe or unsafe for domestic animals. “Even the little ones asked the most sensible questions, such as ‘If raisins are good for me, why can’t I give them to my dog?’ It’s questions like that which make you realize how serious youngsters are about looking after their pet’s health.”
