Today is Veterinary Appreciation Day! Join us in celebrating all the veterinary professionals that help our animals (especially our horses) live long, happy and healthy lives.

If you are looking for ways to say “thank you” to your veterinary team, there are plenty of options — like delivering fresh coffee and treats, leaving a paws-itive online review, or writing a thank you note. You could even Google a fun craft project to make a personalized gift! However, it’s very possible that the best way to thank your horse doctors and equine vet techs is to make their job easier. Some small things can make the biggest difference, like being understanding if the vet is running late; making sure your horse is caught and groomed before the arrival of the veterinarian; training your horse to be well-behaved during the visit; following the veterinarian’s advice and keeping an open line of communication so problems can be addressed quickly, etc.

No matter how you choose to say thank you today, there is no doubt you will brighten your vet team’s day!
