How Did You Celebrate Veterinarian Appreciation Day?
They speak for those who can’t speak—in English at least—and try their best to give our pets the long, happy lives they deserve.
That’s why we created Veterinarian Appreciation Day™, a holiday to celebrate and say thanks to the veterinarians that do so much for our furry family members.
This year, we celebrated a little differently. In honor of Veterinarian Appreciation Day™ we sent Dr. Kathy Hrinivich and Dr. Neil Kennedy of Animal Hospital of Cambridge in Cambridge, Ontario to New York City to ring the Nasdaq closing bell in honor of veterinarians across North America.
Since they opened their practice in April 2004, Dr. Hrinivich and Dr. Kennedy have worked tirelessly to care for the animals in their community. They put a huge focus on helping people and their animal families seven days a week and caring for as many strays and orphaned pets as they can with the resources they have. We thought they deserved a vacation.
But that’s not the only way we thanked our veterinarians this June 18. We made DIY pet treat jars, pawprint paintings, and pet silhouettes, we brought treats and cards to our local veterinary hospitals, and we just said “thanks” when we walked into the veterinary hospitals.

Kathryn works at Trupanion alongside her little sidekick, a rescued Papillion mix named Modie. She loves all animals big and small but is a dog enthusiast at heart. By the third grade, she had memorized every dog breed and their characteristics and dreamed of being an agility dog trainer or the next Steve Irwin. When not at Trupanion, Kathryn spends her time playing soccer, baking cookies, and exploring the Pacific Northwest with her little sidekick.
Excellent care for our Daisy Mae after she was accidentally dragged half a block when I tied her to the car because she was digging holes in the planter at the antique shop. My husband told me to. Unfortunately he forgot when he drove to the bank. I almost tied HIM to the car and drove off. Daisy is ok, just scraped off some foot pads, nothing broken but very subdued since yesterday. Excellent service from Trupanion and Camrose Veterinary Hospital who kept her overnight. I don’t know what I would do without my little darling!
We hope she is feeling much better soon! Sending our good thoughts Daisy Mae’s way.
We love Trupanion and we love our Vet! We sent him the collage that we had made (thank you for adding ours to your montage!) We always get his practice holiday gifts and when we can afford it, we get him a birthday gift!
