Everyone is invited to attend the Atlantic Veterinary College’s 28th annual Open House on Saturday, September 24, from 10 am until 2 pm. A free event hosted by students, faculty and staff, AVC Open House offers the community an opportunity to get an inside view of a busy veterinary college.

There is something for everyone including family-friendly activities, exhibits, live animal demonstrations, a parade of dog breeds, farm animals, community organizations, and much more. Come walk through a model of a cow’s stomachs, dress like a surgeon, and tour the hospital. Children are encouraged to bring their stuffed animals to be examined by a veterinary student at the teddy bear clinic, get their faces painted, or take home a balloon animal. Families and children are invited to pick up an AVC Open House passport and collect stamps from the various stations as they tour the college. Once their visit is completed, children can visit the passport office to receive their AVC Open House certificate.

Everyone is welcome. We respectfully request that you do not bring personal pets to this event. 

For more information, please call (902) 566-0589.
