As we near the end of October there is more to think about than which costume Fido will wear this Halloween. The month of October is National Pet Wellness Month. It’s set aside to focus on educating pet owners about wellness examinations, disease prevention, and pet health insurance.
Sponsored by the American Veterinary Medical Association , Fort Dodge Animal Health, and VPI® Pet Insurance, National Pet Wellness is a year-round campaign where pet owners can receive important information, tailored specifically to their pets, from their veterinarians. And, October kicks off the campaign with National Pet Wellness Month.
Thousands of veterinary clinics now participate in the initiative. The AVMA and Fort Dodge Animal Health launched National Pet Wellness Month in 2004. This year, Veterinary Pet Insurance joins as a campaign sponsor.
The National Pet Wellness initiative has emphasized disease prevention and twice-a-year wellness examinations since its inception. Educating clients about pet health insurance also fits into the initiative’s mission. Studies have shown that, on average, clients with pet health insurance schedule more veterinary visits. Insurance is available for routine wellness care as well as injuries and illnesses.
The “Pet Wellness Starts with a Plan” campaign is reaching out to pet owners through educational materials at veterinary clinics and through national public relations encouraging pet owners to contact their local veterinarian.
Thousands of pet owners are now turning to vitamin supplements as part of their disease prevention plan. FlexPet™ is an all-natural Joint Pain Supplement for pets. The primary component is CM8™ (cetyl myristoleate). Of all the ingredients in FlexPet, CM8™ is the most powerful. CM8™ functions in three different ways. First, it acts as a highly effective lubricant in the joints, muscles and other tissues, allowing them to move smoothly. Decrease or loss of morning stiffness is commonly noted shortly after commencing treatment. Next, CM8™ functions as an anti-inflammatory. Relief from swollen joints is often seen after the 4th or 5th week of treatment. Third, it is also an immune system modulator, which can be effectual against autoimmune diseases, such as arthritic conditions. CM8™ relieves joint pain at its source, reducing inflammation and irritation of the joints and tissues. All of these characteristics make CM8™ the most important ingredient in FlexPet.
Flexcin and FlexPet are proudly manufactured in the United States in a state of the art facility under the strict guidelines of the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices.
