Critter Fixer Presents:

Our Program

The Critter Fixers, Drs. Terrence Ferguson and Vernard Hodges, believe that if children are introduced to the veterinary profession early on, they will be more likely to pursue that career path. They created Vet for a Day to give future veterinarians an immersive look into the world of veterinary medicine. The Vet for a Day Program packs a ton of necessary information into a fun-filled, informative day. The program will be visiting a city near you. Please check Upcoming Events & read more below!

Join Our Network
