Furdunkids
Inspiring the Next Generation of Animal Advocates
WHAT IS FURDUNKIDS ?
Furdunkids is an educational program from the Furdunkin Foundation designed for kids ages 7–12 who love animals and want to learn how to care for them. Through hands-on experiences, real-world exposure, and fun challenges, we introduce children to the world of veterinary care—and the many ways they can make a difference for pets in need.
WHAT KIDS WILL EXPERIENCE
Hands-On Vet Learning
Furdunkids offers immersive field trips where kids spend the day learning directly from veterinary professionals. From routine wellness checks to understanding how vets diagnose and treat illnesses, kids get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep animals healthy.
