It Takes a Team… To Protect Your Animal’s Health and You

It is time to start planning for Animal Health Week (AHW) 2023! Animal Health Week is an annual national public awareness campaign organized by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and hosted by veterinarians across Canada. Each year, through Animal Health Week, the veterinary community draws attention to an important health-related message.

During the first week of October, veterinary teams across Canada promote a significant animal health message and responsible animal ownership as part of Animal Health Week celebrations.
During the 2023 Animal Health Week Campaign we want to honor those working in the industry who protect the health of animals each and every day — the veterinary team. This year’s
AHW theme is It Takes a Team… To Protect Your Animal’s Health and You. From October 1 to 7, 2023, the CVMA will raise awareness about the importance of animal healthcare teams and the valuable role each team member plays in protecting your animals’ health and wellness.

Canada’s veterinary professionals occupy unique positions within the national One Health community and can help educate clients about how protecting animals’ health and habitats, protects everyone’s health.

Promotional tools, including a robust social media campaign, resources, and articles will be available to promote Animal Health Week across the country. A free AHW poster will be included in June’s issue of The Canadian Veterinary Journal. An additional poster will be mailed to veterinary hospitals and clinics across the country in August. Visit the Animal Health Week section of the CVMA website as October nears to find tips and tools to help plan your celebrations.
