The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)
and Fort Dodge Animal Health today announced a new National
Pet Wellness educational campaign to raise consumer awareness
about disease risks to pets and how to prevent them. The “Being
A Pet Is Risky Business” campaign focuses on the
importance of individualized risk assessment and twice-a-year
wellness exams in protecting each pet against common diseases.
The “Risky Business” campaign will reach pet
owners in two ways. First, through a variety of educational
materials especially designed for in-clinic use by veterinarians,
veterinary technicians and the rest of the veterinary team.
And second, through television and radio public service
announcements and other public outreach, which will encourage
all pet owners to contact their local veterinarian to schedule
a wellness exam.
“We are very excited about this year’s campaign,” says
AVMA President Roger K. Mahr, DVM. “Not only does
this campaign bring important information to the public’s
attention, but it also allows veterinarians to recognize
the very important frontline role of veterinary technicians
in communicating with and educating pet owners.”
