Saluting veterinary professionals around the world
This year’s World Veterinary Day (April 24) celebrated the essential work of veterinarians and other veterinary professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Companion animal veterinary teams have been working flat out in communities globally to protect the health and welfare of pets and reduce suffering. In so doing, they have also been playing a crucial role in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of their owners.
Veterinary teams are also providing an essential service in terms of supporting veterinary public health as they provide surveillance for diseases affecting both humans and animals. In some countries, they are also being called upon to assist in human COVID-19 vaccination drives.
