The staff at your vet clinic works hard. You see it, and you thank them when you drop by. But what about a special day to acknowledge the love and care they show your pets? Look no further - Veterinary Appreciation Day is here!

Veterinary Appreciation Day

Trupanion started Veterinary Appreciation Day in 2015. They recognized the role veterinary professionals play in ensuring the world’s pets have long, happy lives. And they wanted to include EVERYONE in a veterinary position: client representatives, assistants, technicians, and doctors.

Setting aside one day for appreciation gives animal lovers a chance to come together and thank the vet industry. Especially since those teams put in extra work during the pandemic!

Showing Your Vet Team Appreciation

“Thank you” always demonstrates appreciation. But you want to punch things up for Veterinary Appreciation Day. Why not choose one of these options:

• Post a photo or video on social media with the caption #thankaveterinarian
• Send the clinic a handwritten note or card
• Drop off treats for the staff or gift cards for the clinic to share
• Donate to the clinic’s emergency fund that helps pets in need

Year-Round Appreciation

Veterinary professionals work hard all year. And while everyone loves appreciation, there are little things you can do to demonstrate your gratitude each time you drop in for a visit:

• Arrive for your appointments on time
• Follow the office’s policies
• Bring any requested paperwork or samples (yup - even poop)
• Remain patient when they let you know about delays

#Thankaveterinarian

Vet professionals LOVE animals. Everything they do is because they want your pets to stay happy and healthy. So don’t they deserve that extra smile and wave on Veterinary Appreciation Day?

And don’t forget: Positive reviews are a perfect way to show gratitude!
