Saturday, April 26, 2025 is World Veterinary Day.
World Veterinary Day, observed every year on the last Saturday of April, aims to celebrate the contributions of veterinarians to the health of animals, people, and the environment. This year’s theme is focusing on the teamwork it takes to provide veterinary care. Veterinarians are not only responsible for your pet’s health care and pet parent education, but also large animal and food animal production, food safety, disease trends – including incidence, distribution, and control; animal welfare, public health, aquaculture and research and education.
For pet parents, make sure to take some time to consider those who put in the time and work it takes to keep your pet healthy; whether it’s for the annual healthy visit or the visit when your pet is hurt or feeling ill. Everyone’s contribution is important, from the receptionists who take your calls, schedule your appointments and pass along information; the kennel technicians who care for your pet and keep the facilities clean; to the technicians, nurses and assistants who run the tests, groom your pets, and help run the veterinary office you visit; as well as the specialists we refer you to, who are experts in their field, and the veterinarians that examine, prescribe, treat, and keep your pet as healthy as can be. We’re all willing to tackle the good, the bad, and the stinky for you and your pet. Animals mean the world to those that love them, and every member of our team values the importance of what your pet means to you. No matter the situation, we’re all in, even if “letting the cat out of the bag” is easier than putting it back in. As the saying goes, it takes a village and we’re happy to be a part of your village. Happy World Veterinary Day from the Warren Animal Hospital team.
