Designed for kids and animal lovers of all ages, the Happy Kids-Happy Pets “trading cards” are “written” by dogs and cats to teach children how to take care of pets, and make a difference in children’s and animals lives.

There are 2 categories of easy-to-read trading-size cards.The cards teach elementary-age children and their families compassionate care of dogs and cats, such as the importance of spay/neuter, adopting from a shelter-saving a life, not leaving a dog in a hot car, not tying a dog to a tree, Trap-Neuter-Return, proper grooming of your cat, etc.

So many people don’t know how to take care of pets. Our 200+ cards offer advice and solutions to these challenges in a fun, creative way. Help us teach children while they’re young to start making a difference!

The front of the cards has a photo of a dog or cat and the back of the card has a story lesson. Children relate well to animals and don’t feel as though they are being lectured to when the lesson comes from a pet. After purchasing our cards, the kids can go to the Happy Kids-Happy Pets website to download the free “read along” audio version recorded by children. The audio is loaded with sound effects galore!
