The ASPCA® Pet Health
Insurance program to Provide Dogs the Ultimate Thanksgiving Feast
and Donate $10,000 to a Select Animal
Shelter
AKRON,
Ohio, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
The ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance program will host
the ultimate Dogsgiving this year, making Thanksgiving more pet
friendly. The company launched a giveaway for one winner to be
awarded five dog Thanksgiving meals and toys and the opportunity to
pick one animal shelter to receive a $10,000 donation from the ASPCA® Pet
Health Insurance program.
"At ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance, we treat our
pets like family and want them to join in on the holiday
festivities, but Thanksgiving meals and sweet treats are not always
safe for them to consume," said Anna
Clarke, Senior Director of Brand Marketing,
ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance. "We wanted to come up
with a way for our dogs to be involved in Thanksgiving traditions
safely. Instead of worrying about what to feed your dog to
celebrate the holiday, we'll take care of the meal and provide food
made specifically for them along with ample toys. We know not all
dogs have a home and a human to celebrate with and we want to also
ensure we're helping with a donation to a shelter of the winner's
choosing."
The ASPCA® Pet Health Insurance program is
raising awareness through this giveaway of the increasing
veterinary care costs and the importance of pet insurance to help
provide the vet care pets need in case of toxic food ingestion,
which is common around Thanksgiving. With 42 percent of pet owners
saying a vet bill of $999 or less
would cause them to go into debt, pet insurance helps to cover the
eligible veterinary bill and provides peace of mind if your pet
gets injured or sick.
Giveaway Details:
- Prize:
- 5 Thanksgiving meals, suitable for dogs, containing a turkey
meatloaf, loaded white potatoes, roasted butternut squash, a Gobble
Gobble cake, and a Thanksgiving cookie.
- Thanksgiving themed toys for each of 5 furry friends.
- A $10,000 donation to an animal
shelter of your choice.
- Dates:
- The giveaway opens on November 6
(following announcement on social media) and ends at
11:59 p.m. EST on November 15,
2023.
- The winner will be selected at random on November 16, 2023.
- Eligibility:
- You must live in the United
States (not available in FL, NY, or Puerto Rico).
- You must be 18+ in age.
"As a veterinarian, it's not uncommon to care for pets that
become very ill after eating inappropriate foods, either given as
treats or those that pets ingested from holiday dinner tables while
their owners weren't looking," said Wendy
Hauser, DVM and Special Advisor to the ASPCA® Pet
Health Insurance program. "We want to ensure your dog is healthy
and protected in case this happens this year so they can live a
happy, healthy, and long life. Providing them with human food
that's less likely to upset their GI system and a few fun toys to
distract them from your holiday meal is the perfect way to do
so."
Each year, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center sees an
increase in calls of potential pet toxicity related to Thanksgiving
meals. If you suspect your pet has been exposed to any hazardous
substances, please contact your veterinarian, or call the Animal
Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. If your pet has a
sensitive stomach or medical conditions that require a specific
diet, avoid dietary changes such as introducing new foods or snacks
without consulting your veterinarian first.
