TAKE CARE OF YOUR PETS (c. 1960)

This 22-minute educational film teaches children the basics of responsible pet care, showing how animals depend on us for food, shelter, exercise, and kindness. With simple narration and charming period visuals, kids learn how to feed their pets properly, keep them clean, and understand their needs—whether it’s a playful puppy, a curious cat, or even small pets like rabbits and birds.

Produced in the 1950s–60s classroom style, the film emphasizes that having a pet is more than fun—it’s a responsibility. Through everyday examples, it encourages children to treat animals with patience, respect, and love, while reminding them that pets, just like people, need attention and care to stay healthy and happy.

Seen today, it’s both a practical lesson and a nostalgic snapshot of how schools once taught values of compassion and responsibility through film.
