Speech on World Veterinary Day

Mark your calendar for a special day, World Veterinary Day! Every year, we pause to honor the hardworking individuals in the veterinary field. They’re the ones taking care of our cherished pets and livestock.

World Veterinary Day is a celebration of their dedication and commitment. It’s a chance to thank them for their invaluable contribution to society. Let’s learn more about this important day together.

1-minute Speech on World Veterinary Day

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, today we focus on a group of special heroes, our veterinarians. World Veterinary Day is our chance to say a big thank you to these caring people who help our furry, feathered, and scaly friends.

Vets are not only heroes to our pets but also to farm animals. They make sure the cows, sheep, pigs, and other animals that help put food on our tables are healthy. Without vets, these animals would suffer, and our food supplies would be at risk.

They also play a huge part in protecting wildlife. When wild animals get sick or hurt, vets are there to help them. They treat injured birds, sick foxes, and even big, fierce lions. Without vets, many of these animals would not survive.

So, today, let’s give a big cheer for our vets. They do so much for us and ask for so little in return. They deserve our thanks, not just today but every day. Happy World Veterinary Day!

2-minute Speech on World Veterinary Day

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, we gather to celebrate World Veterinary Day. Let’s take a moment to thank those who ensure our animals stay healthy and happy – our veterinarians.

Vets are real-life superheroes. They’re not just doctors; they’re friends, comforters, and defenders for our animals. They wear white coats, but their hearts are filled with a rainbow of love for all creatures. They give voice to those who cannot speak and strength to those who cannot fight. They heal, they care, and they protect, making our world a better place for our furry, feathered, and scaled friends.

You might ask, why do we need a special day for vets? Well, it’s to make sure we don’t forget the vital role they play in our society. They are the guardians of animal health. They work day and night to fight diseases, protect animal welfare, and ensure food safety. Strong, healthy animals mean a safer, healthier world for us all.

But World Veterinary Day is not just about thanking vets. It’s also about raising awareness. Awareness about the importance of animal health and how it connects to our own health. Many diseases we humans face come from animals. By keeping animals healthy, vets are on the frontline of protecting us all.

So, how can we support our vets on this special day? We can start by showing our gratitude. Say thank you to your vet. Share their stories. Let people know about the incredible work they do. And remember, every time you take care of your pet, you’re supporting their work.

Veterinarians play a critical role in the prevention and control of animal diseases, and they also work towards the improvement of human health through public and private veterinary services.

Words of wisdom on World Veterinary Day

On this World Veterinary Day, we’re sharing some of our most memorable quotes from Central Line: The AAHA Podcast .

Published Apr 29, 2023

When we think of World Veterinary Day, it’s usually in terms of how far we’ve come in improving patient care. And it’s true—we are living in extraordinary times, including emerging tech, research innovations, new educational pathways and pedagogical approaches, legislative and regulatory decisions, drug breakthroughs, and more diverse treatment alternatives. It’s all happening—and what’s going down now will likely influence the future of pet healthcare for the next generation.

But all the technological advances are no match for the extraordinary shifts in culture these past few years. So, this World Veterinary Day, we’re offering some bite-size inspiration in the form of quotes from guests who’ve joined host Katie Berlin, DVM, on Central Line: The AAHA Podcast . Just as a reminder that, while we face enormous challenges in vet med, we are also in the profession at a pivotal time, and we’re surrounded by some really awesome people.

__________________________________

“Every single one of us—yes, even the introverts out there —we are hardwired for social connectedness. We need to feel like we belong somewhere, that we are included, that we’re a part of something. To people that matter to us, we matter to them as well . . . that the people here actually really care about me as a human being. I’m not just a cog in the machine. I am a machine in and of itself. I am worthy because I am. In fact, I know that they care about me because even if I didn’t work here anymore, they’d probably still care about me.

And while I’m here they don’t just care about me as a person, they actually care about my success. They’re here to help me succeed in the meaningful goals that I’m trying to achieve and the meaningful goals that this organization is trying to achieve.

So, it’s not just about: ‘Where am I falling short? Where am I screwing up?’ It’s: ‘What are my strengths and how can those strengths contribute to what we’re trying to do together?’”

—Josh Vaisman, MAPPCP, CCFP Episode 54: Work Should Be Part of the Good Stuff

“Everybody thinks I’m so sad . . . they say, ‘You and your veterinarians, you euthanize three pets a day; doesn’t that get on your emotional toll?’ Yes, we cry. I get sad with the families for sure, but what really makes me sad is that so many families have not been to the veterinarian in years before they say goodbye, and it’s nearly 50% of families have not . . . And that’s not [just] Lap of Love;  that’s all across the country. I looked at almost a million pets that were euthanized and almost half had not been to their doctor a year before they passed.

I think we could do so much to get them into the clinic, and when they are into the clinic, to care for them the way they need—with such individualized care . . . The [ 2023 AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats are] a great start and foundation to build a better senior program.”

—Mary Gardner, DVM Episode 41: Gems from the Guidelines: Telling the Story of Senior Care

__________________________________  

“ I’m a stickler for an excellent client experience. I really find the whole dynamics of having a great relationship with your client extremely rewarding, and so my journey is weird because I ended up being very frustrated with what I would consider the very lame tools that veterinarians have to communicate with their clients in practice.

Around 2010, I was really striving to help people give their monthly heartworm prevention, and all I had was these dumb stickers in a box to give to people to put on their calendar. And I really wanted to be able to send a push notification to people on their phone, because I noticed that when my phone would be sitting there, I would suddenly be craving a double pepperoni pizza from Domino’s because I get a push notification. And I thought, ‘I want to be able to do that for my clients with their heartworm medicine. How cool would that be?’”

—Stacee Santi, DVM Episode 9: Combine Technology with Focused Face Time for Better Client Bonding

“[We] know that there are 100 million pets right now in the US without care . . . and those families are going to have all different backgrounds; they’re going to have all sorts of socioeconomic statuses. And by opening the door to telehealth, you’re allowing those families to fit veterinary medicine into their life. And when you do that, you’re able to interact and say, ‘Hey, here’s the value that a veterinarian could provide.’

My very first dog  died in my backyard. And it was when I was little. I’m the oldest of five kids. The dog was not short on love. We absolutely loved Ebony. We adored her. We did not know how sick she was. We did not know that she couldn’t wait until the weekend for my mom to be able to take off work. Right? We were fully intending [to] find her a doctor [but] she didn’t make it.

[T]here are moments in these telehealth conversations—and it happens every day—that my team gets to be that voice for that pet in that moment of, ‘Hey, I see you; you care so deeply for this dog; you’ve found us. Here we are. Let’s meet you where you are, and then let’s get that pet to where they need to go, if they need to go somewhere.’ . . . Sometimes it’s simple things like, ‘Actually, that’s not a tick; that’s a nipple. You’re good.’”

—Cherice Roth, DVM Episode 19: Telehealth Increases Accessibility—and Visibility—of Veterinary Care

“[A] succinct way to put this is, just as in human medicine, ultimately some third party is helping to pay for the care. It’s not rocket science that the same challenge exists with veterinary medicine. So AlignCare is truly subsidized healthcare. And . . . where does that money come from? Well, our intent is to build the capacity for our society to support their families through multiple means, not just grants given by animal welfare organizations, but corporate policies such that funding starts to show up at the community level to support the families of that community. At the end of the day, in other words, in the exam room, the client has come in and has limited funds, the veterinary practice can’t stay healthy and give away the whole shop. So there’s a limit to what the practice can do. And then there, that gap that exists is where a subsidy fits in. Again, it’s not strange to me because that’s exactly what happens in human healthcare.”

—Michael Blackwell, DVM Episode 26: Approaching Access to Veterinary Care in New Ways

1NEWStat_10-27-22_Central Line_with caption.jpg

“I’ve supported many new veterinarian graduates in being comfortable and confident in their skills and it’s the same thing with our RVTs: They’re coming in and they’re new, and they’re fresh, and they haven’t had practice. Do we expect them to do nerve blocks and epidurals on day one? No. But with a supportive team and goals and talking to each other and saying, ‘How can we make our team more efficient? … Where do you want to go? How can you do it together? Where can we get additional training and support? How can we utilize some other things? How can we elevate our care?’” — Shannon Thompson, RVT

“[T]he passions within each individual can be extremely powerful on a team. If you have somebody that’s really passionate about, say, parasite control, use their passions and let it show throughout the practice, because that’s ultimately going to help that pet and the owner understand what it is we’re asking them to do.” — Julie Legred CVT, FFCVP

“It’s almost like creating a triage approach to every appointment and every animal that comes in like, ‘Okay, who is the most qualified in this area? Who’s the most qualified here? Who can handle this?’ Making sure everybody knows where their arena is doesn’t mean we don’t cross-train, because we love being cross-trained, and [we] do that as well. But I think it’s that approach instead of, ‘Okay, this is all on me?’ It’s: ‘Who can help?’” — Deborah Reeder, BA, AS, LVT

speech on world veterinary day

The World Veterinary Association (WVA) announced that this year’s World Veterinary Day will celebrate veterinarians as essential workers in their communities. The official theme, “Veterinarians are essential health workers” honors veterinarians and all do to keep their communities safe and protected. 1

“This dimension of the veterinarians’ work often remains invisible to the society but protecting and improving the health of people and their communities is an essential part of the vet profession,” the WVA shared in an organizational release. 1 “All graduated veterinarians have undergone comprehensive medical training, and regardless of their professional area of practice, are responsible, for promoting public health and food safety and security.”

In 2000, the WVA created World Veterinary Day to celebrate the veterinary profession and it takes place each year on the last Saturday of April. Each year, the WVA and the Health for Animals, a global health care industry association, present the World Veterinary Day Award. 2 The award is presented to whomever is promoting the theme to the highest degree. The winning campaigns can be campaigns local to communities, educational seminars, new research, media campaigns, and more. If selected, the winner will receive $5,000.

For example, on 2021, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) won the award for the theme “Veterinarian response to the COVID-19 Crisis resource center. The AVMA kept the center up to date throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure veterinarians across the world had access to these resources to better serve their communities. The resource center included scientific summaries, short videos, risk assessments summaries, online tools, blogs, and other resources. 3
