Numerous educational exhibits and demonstrations will take place throughout the day, and several services within the new UF Small Animal Hospital, including emergency and critical care; oncology; cardiology and internal medicine will be highlighted.

Attendees will have the opportunity to view horses on a high-speed treadmill and a large animal rescue demonstration. Tours of UF’s large and small animal hospitals will be provided, and veterinary students will be offering a teddy bear clinic for people who bring their damaged stuffed animals for repair.

Pet adoptions will be available and Albert and Alberta will pay a visit to the college between noon and 1 p.m.
