Pet Supplies Plus continues to partner with the organization Pets in the Classroom to provide school teachers with discounts to purchase classroom pets and supplies.
Kids benefit from exposure to pets in the classroom in ways that help to shape their lives for years to come. Popular classroom pet options include a small animal, reptiles or fish.
