World Veterinary Day Is April 30th

Did you know April 30th is World Veterinary Day?  This special day honors veterinarians all around the world to commemorate their hard work that contributes to healthier and happier animals. This annually celebrated day was first initiated in 2000 by the World Veterinary Association and is recognized on the last Saturday each April. Veterinarians play a crucial role in protecting global health because they have the responsibility and opportunity to improve the health and welfare of all animals.

Many pet parents depend on the veterinary supplies and services provided by their veterinarian because they have the skills and training to get our furry friends back to good health! So, how can you give back and show appreciation for all the hard work your veterinarian has done? Let's check out some great ways to make our veterinarians feel appreciated on April 30th!

1. Call Your Vet
A simple phone call to your vet with a "Happy World Veterinary Day" is enough to show your appreciation! Not only will they be happy to hear that, but they will be impressed you knew about the special day.

2. Send A Card
Greeting cards aren't only for winter holidays, they can be the perfect token of appreciation for your vet. A heartfelt message and even a picture of your pet can make their day.

3. Send A Gift Basket
It's without a doubt that veterinarians will go above and beyond to help you and your pet, so what better way to show your appreciation than sending them a gift basket! No matter how small or large, your act of kindness will go a far way.

4. Send Referrals
Another fantastic way to send your vet some appreciation is by sending their clinic pet-patient referrals. Whether you tell your friends about them or send your family members to them, you are showing the vet you appreciate their care services.  


Are you ready to show your vet the appreciation they deserve?
