(Scroll to the end of the post for instructions on downloading the graphics.)
November gives veterinary teams several timely opportunities to educate clients, strengthen relationships, and drive appointments before the holiday rush. Each observance below aligns with real clinical needs and common seasonal trends, making it easy to turn awareness into action.
1. Practice Manager Appreciation Week (November 9-15)
Practice managers are the operational leaders who keep clinics running smoothly. They balance scheduling, inventory, staff communication, client service, and financial oversight while often staying behind the scenes. Showcasing their vital role builds trust in the team, boosts morale, and highlights the professionalism of the clinic.
Social Copy (Clinics Can Copy + Paste):
• “Happy Practice Manager Appreciation Week. Join us in celebrating the person who keeps everything running smoothly.”
• “Our practice manager is the glue that holds it all together. Help us say thank you in the comments.”
Email Copy:
Subject: Thank You to Our Practice Manager
Body:
This week we are celebrating the person who keeps our clinic organized, upbeat, and focused on the pets we love. Please join us in thanking [Name] for everything they do to keep care moving forward for our community.
2. National Senior Pet Month
Senior pets make up a large share of the population. Earlier detection of arthritis, dental disease, kidney disease, and cancer significantly improves comfort and lifespan. Owners often underestimate what age-related changes mean, so education leads directly to better care.
Marketing focus: Preventive care helps pets age well.
Social Copy:
• “Aging is not a disease. Book a senior pet wellness visit to support active, comfortable golden years.”
• “If your pet has slowed down, it might be pain. We can help.”
Email Copy:
Subject: Help Your Senior Pet Stay Comfortable
Body:
As pets age, their needs change. November is a great time to schedule a wellness exam to catch concerns early. Reach out to book a visit for your senior friend today.
3. National Diabetes Month
Diabetes in dogs and cats is rising, especially among overweight pets. Many cases go undetected until symptoms worsen. Clinics can serve as trusted educators while encouraging regular screenings and nutritional guidance.
Marketing focus: Early detection protects quality of life.
Social Copy:
• “Increased thirst. Increased urination. Changes in appetite. These may be signs of diabetes. Schedule a screening today.”
• “Managing weight supports long term health. Our team can help.”
Email Copy:
Subject: Early Detection Matters for Pet Diabetes
Body:
November is Diabetes Awareness Month. If your dog or cat has had changes in thirst, appetite, or energy, a quick screening can make a life-changing difference. Contact us to learn more.
4. National Pet Cancer Awareness Month
Cancer is one of the most common causes of illness in senior pets. Many types respond well to early diagnosis, so encouraging owners to check swelling, lumps, or behavior changes is critical.
Marketing focus: Know the signs. Act early.
Social Copy:
• “Found a lump or bump on your pet. Let us take a look. Early identification saves lives.”
• “Changes in appetite or behavior can be clues. Our team is here to help.”
Email Copy:
Subject: Check for the Signs of Cancer in Pets
Body:
Pets cannot tell us when something feels wrong. Regular exams allow us to spot concerns quickly. If you have noticed any new lumps or behavior changes, schedule a checkup.
5. Thanksgiving and Holiday Hazard Prevention
Veterinary teams see an increase in emergencies this time of year. Food toxicity, stress during gatherings, and travel risks are all preventable with timely reminders.
Marketing focus: Keep celebrations safe for pets.
Social Copy:
• “Turkey bones, chocolate, onions, and alcohol are not safe for pets. Let us help keep celebrations stress free.”
• “Traveling with a pet. Ask us how to prepare for a smooth trip.”
Email Copy:
Subject: Keep Pets Safe This Thanksgiving
Body:
We love holiday cheer, but hidden hazards like toxic foods or swallowed objects can spoil the fun fast. Reach out with any questions before the holiday begins.
With a mix of health education, team appreciation, community outreach, and holiday fun, November is full of opportunities for veterinary clinics to connect with clients in meaningful ways.
