Learn how we care for animals at the 40th annual James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital Open House from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday April 13.

The northern Colorado community is invited to enjoy hospital tours, a petting zoo, educational lectures and demonstrations, kids’ activities, and photo ops with CAM the Ram.

Students from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences veterinary clubs will host interactive and educational booths, leading animal anatomy lessons, face painting, teddy bear clinic, and other hands-on activities.
