Flight attendants always remind passengers to secure their own oxygen mask before helping someone else with theirs. In veterinary medicine, that translates to students building a solid support system for themselves to ensure they’re able to provide emotional support to clients and patients.
Pet Day at OSU’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine is happening from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, May 3, with plenty of activities and educational opportunities for the whole family.
Pet Day is held mostly outdoors at Magruder Hall, 700 SW 30th Street in Corvallis.
Leashed pets are welcome at Pet Day, though they are not permitted inside Magruder per university policy and must be attended by their owners at all times.
