While we are grateful for ALL that Veterinarians and their staffs do, this year probably more than ANY YEAR we are extremely grateful for all that our Veterinary practice (DePorre Veterinary Hospital) is doing to help keep our pets safe and healthy while we remain on Corona Virus lockdown.
From "virtual text chats", through the Anipanion app ("telemedicine"), to curbside appointments, to still handling phone calls and questions with caring, professionalism and love. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL they are doing to keep our pets healthy while utilizing SAFE actions to do so.
FROM AVMA.ORG: The theme of World Veterinary Day 2020, which falls on April 25, is “Environmental protection for improving animal and human health.”
The WVA created World Veterinary Day in 2000 as an annual celebration of the veterinary profession, taking place on the last Saturday of April. Starting last year, the WVA has partnered with Health for Animals, the global animal medicines association, on the World Veterinary Day Award, which honors one WVA member’s activities related to the theme.
Details about World Veterinary Day and the World Veterinary Day Award are available at the World Veterinary Association website.
Veterinarians are in such a tough place usually, caught between infirm pets, and humans who expect miracles. During this pandemic, they are going everything they can, and I respect and treasure them all!
ReplyDeleteOur veterinarians are so important and often not appreciated enough!
ReplyDeleteWe had the best vet ever when we had Little Bit. I miss him and his staff.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect day and week, Cody. My best to your brother and your mom. ♥

so happy you had a great time!!! But...were there PEOPLE there?????????
DeleteI am thankful for our vet. I am especially thankful she is still letting pet parents in to the exam room as so many make you wait in the car. XO
ReplyDeletefor dogs pet parents still have to wait in the car. For cats, the pet parents can come into the exam room ONLY until they come to examine the kitty, then the pet parents have to go to the car :( We haven't been there other than to pick up Dakota's meds but Cody MUST get in because of his thyroid issues. We already postponed it from April 6th and we don't want to wait much longer :(
DeleteWe love our Vet too, she is beyond special!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't checked in with you since the quarantine started, so how is everyone? Cody and Dakota you keeping your humans safe?
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
you haven't missed anything because we have barely been blogging :) Oh wait! You missed Cody's 13th birthday. He turned 13 on April 1st. That's about it! We are doing our best like everyone to stay healthy and get through this. Crazy times indeed. Praying you are all safe and healthy!!!
DeleteOur Vet is very special, too...and since I was working April 25th, I missed it too...I Miss lots when I work!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say I miss Covid19...hopefully soon...but of course I will NOT miss it one bit!
We are all well, and we sure hope you are and will stay well. Now even if I had time I can't even travel to see friends...let alone my family...sigh...
At least we can stay together in virtual fashion:)
(( ♥ ))
At least you remembered. I think we are all grateful for our vet's and their staff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, Cody��Clean Pawkisses for a Happy Tuesday. Stay Safe Healthy and Yourselfie��������
ReplyDeleteWe're always grateful for our veterinarians. Most people don't know how much veterinarians are also involved in ensuring human health - maybe that's one positive that will come of this covid-19 disaster.
