Community Outreach

Pets Go To School program

The Pro Plan Performance Team delights crowds during daily demonstrations at the Incredible Dog Arena at Purina Farms, but the Team also takes its show on the road to entertain and educate kids at schools all around the Greater St. Louis area as part of the Purina Farms Pets Go To School program.

The Pets Go To School program is available to grade schools and middle schools for free from the beginning of December through the end of February. The program consists of an exciting, educational and interactive hour-long assembly featuring dogs, cats and even a pig. The pets in the program perform high-flying acrobatic tricks while the trainers provide the kids with lessons in responsible pet care.
