Millions (literally!) of Ways to Love Your Veterinary Team this Veterinary Appreciation Day
11 June 2021 - 12:30AM
With the fast approach of Veterinary Appreciation Day™ on June 18,
Trupanion, the leader in medical insurance for cats and dogs, is
asking pet owners across the globe to take a moment and recognize
the veterinary professionals who are there, day and night, to take
care of our pets.
In 2015, Trupanion created Veterinary Appreciation Day to
celebrate the critical role that veterinary professionals play in
our lives. From the front desk to technicians to veterinarians,
veterinary professionals dedicate countless hours providing
compassionate care for our pets, even throughout the most
challenging of times.
Even as the pandemic took hold, veterinary professionals were
not deterred and found ways to safely care for our pets.
Veterinarians even went above and beyond as they were called upon
to vaccinate people in the global drive to immunize against
COVID-19.
“At Trupanion, we recognize the incredible dedication the
veterinary community provides as well as the 24/7 care and support
for the good of our pets, families, and the veterinary
professionals entrusted with their care,” said Margi Tooth,
co-president of Trupanion. “They are often the unsung heroes and
Veterinary Appreciation Day puts the spotlight on a profession
often forgotten and underappreciated.”
In advance of Veterinary Appreciation Day, Trupanion committed
to issue over 50,000 shares of stock, which, as of June 9, 2021, is
worth over $4.7 million, to MightyVet, a non-profit, industry-wide
platform founded to support veterinary professionals in their
career and well-being.
“With our donation to MightyVet, and our partners across the
animal health industry we will be supporting in upcoming campaigns,
we want to recognize and contribute to the monumental effort that
goes into ensuring veterinary heroes across the globe can access
support and education they need,” added Tooth.
Veterinary Appreciation Day is an opportunity to bring together
the animal-loving community to show appreciation to the veterinary
professionals that are dedicated to helping the pets we all love
live the happiest, healthiest lives possible.
Reach out to your veterinary professional this Veterinary
Appreciation Day with a kind word, or maybe a simple note to let
them know how much they mean to you and your family.
“This year, above all years, their dedication has been felt by
millions needing their support in times of uncertainty. They didn’t
let us down,” said Tooth.
