LESSONS ABOUT CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR PETS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN "DOC MCSTUFFINS: PET VET" PROGRAMMING EVENT, BEGINNING FRIDAY, AUGUST 14 ON DISNEY CHANNEL

-- Presented in Collaboration with the ASPCA, Solid Gold Holistic Pet Food and Nationwide --

Doc McStuffins opens a new veterinary practice in her backyard clinic where she treats stuffed animals and toys - in a "Doc McStuffins" programming event for kids age 2-7 that will highlight care and responsibility for pets. The multi-episode story arc, "Doc McStuffins: Pet Vet," presented in collaboration with the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(R)), Solid Gold Holistic Pet Food and Nationwide, begins FRIDAY, AUGUST 14 (9:00-10:00 a.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel and WATCH Disney Junior. Additional pet-themed episodes of "Doc McStuffins" will roll out on Disney Channel, Disney Junior and WATCH Disney Junior.

A music-video mash-up of Doc's signature song, "Time For Your Check-Up," and new song "Get Your Pet to the Vet," as well as "Stuffy's Pet Vlog," an animated short-form series about Doc's toy dragon, Stuffy, and his new pet, Squibbles, will also premiere during the programming event. DisneyJunior.com/Doc will also feature a Pet Care checklist designed to help kids nurture and care for their own pets.

Two new "Doc McStuffins: Pet Vet" mobile experiences will be released in conjunction with the programming event. On August 13, before the story debuts on TV, the popular Disney Junior Appisodes app for iOS devices will debut the full "Stuffy and Squibbles" episode with interactive elements, including the ability to help Doc diagnose and treat Stuffy's pet Squibbles when he runs low on energy. On August 20, a "Doc McStuffins: Pet Vet" mobile game will be available in the Apple App Store. Featuring several mini-games, the app allows players to diagnose and treat pets, as they earn new tools and treats for the pets and special badges for their doctor scrubs.

Disney Publishing Worldwide will release multiple "Doc McStuffins: Pet Vet" print and e-book titles, including Dragon's Best Friend, a collectible storybook featuring original artwork, on August 4; a Pet Vet storybook on September 1; and Take Your Pet to the Vet, a level one reader on October 6.

"Fetchin' Findo/Dragon's Best Friend" (9:00 a.m., ET/PT *extended episode) - Doc gives Donny's new animatronic toy dog, Findo, a check-up and discovers that he has sand in his nose, which is preventing him from fetching.

"Stuffy and Squibbles" (9:00 a.m., ET/PT) - On Stuffy's first full day of being a pet owner, he forgets that Squibbles needs to be plugged in to charge, so Doc must remind him that pets need special care and attention every day.

The Hollywood Health & Society division of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center serves as its health and medical consultants, advising on basic health issues that are relevant to young kids and families.
