What: In these tough economic times, pet owners are facing difficult choices about how to pay for and prioritize their pets’ care and wellness.
In fact, a recent survey revealed that many pet owners have cut back on veterinary visits and preventive pet care due to financial concerns in the past six months~causing many of America’s veterinarians to be deeply concerned about the long-term health implications of these decisions.
“America’s Best-Loved Family Doctor for Pets” and author of the runaway bestselling book “Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul” (the fastest-selling pet book in history) Dr. Marty Becker will explain the many ways that the economy is affecting pets, offer a wealth of money-saving tips to help your listeners take better care of all of their pets, and reveal many doggone good ways (some surprising) to create a smart pet health care plan, including, but not limited to:
* Know your pet’s true age. Pets age much faster than us, and knowing their true age in human years can enable you to understand a portion of their unique health issues and complications as they are.
* Prevention is the best medicine. Almost all veterinarians agree that preventive pet care is the best way to keep pets healthy, including everything from vaccinations to dental care to parasite control and much more. By conducting preventive care, hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars can potentially be saved.
* Good pet health care can be free. Daily exercise keeps obesity at bay, and quality personal time helps reduce stress and has many other positive, proven health benefits.
In addition, Dr. Becker, who is also the author of “The Healing Power of Pets to Make and Keep People Happy and Healthy” and “Fitness Unleashed: a Dog and Owner’s Guide to Losing Weight and Gaining Health Together,” will chat about the many benefits of animals to people’s lives and how they bring out the best in humanity, discuss the importance of responsible care for animals, and answer any of your or your listeners’ questions about their dogs’ and cats’ veterinary care!
As if all of this is not enough, Dr. Becker is also spearheading the national Love Your Pet, Get to the Vet campaign which will award more than $250,000 in veterinary vouchers to help offset veterinary costs for as many pet owners as possible so that their pets can receive veterinary care.
