Data shows that 98 percent of pet owners consider their pets to be important members of the family, and that 85 percent of pet owners would pay whatever it takes if their pet needed extensive veterinary care. Yet, many pet owners face difficulty in caring for their pets due to the rising costs of veterinary care. To conclude next week's Pet Week on Capitol Hill, Ester Banque, President of U.S. Operations for Zoetis, the leading global animal health company, will discuss strategies and solutions to make veterinary care more affordable for pet owners. This session will stream next Friday, September 13th at 4:00pm ET at www.petnight.com and on Facebook at https://lnkd.in/eTzWsn_U!
