Pet owners should be informed when the care of their pet is done by a student.
 

Many years ago, I was a nursing student, so I know that students need to have clinical practice.  But, the patient or the gardian or owner should be made aware that a student is treating them or their family member or pet, and that the student is closely supervised. If the person or owner is not comfortable with this, they should not have to be treated by the student.
