The Companion Animal Challenge is a set of contests for youth interested in companion animals. These contests are animal-less and test youths’ knowledge about companion animals. 4-H youth ages 10-18 are invited to participate.

The 4-H Companion Animal Challenge is held virtually during the month of April 2023.

Contests include Demonstration Contest, Dog Skillathon Contest, Cat Skillathon Contest, Essay Contest, Art Contest, and Photography Contest.

This event allows youth to apply their companion animal knowledge but does not require them to have an animal!
