National Pet Week® Celebrations Urge Americans to ‘Celebrate Healthy Pets’ “Celebrate Healthy Pets” is the theme for the 2014’s National Pet Week®, May 4-10. Created by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and its Auxiliary; National Pet Week® is dedicated to celebrating the pets in our lives and promoting responsible pet ownership. “Our pets rely on their owners for everything. “In addition to food and love, our pets need annual checkups, proper nutrition, dental care, exercise, fun and even a plan for when disaster strikes,” In the most recent AVMA U.S. Pet Ownership and Demographic Sourcebook 53.9 percent of cat owners and 48.6 percent of dog owners indicated they did not take their pet to the veterinarian because they were not sick or injured. “Waiting for your pet to show signs of illness can waste valuable time,” said AVMA President, Dr. Clark Fobian. “Because pets often hide symptoms of illness, regular check-ups are vital to catching potential health problems early. Not only can early treatment mean better results for your pet, it can also be easier on your wallet.”
