Honoring America's Best Veterinarians

When you love your pets, it is good to know you have a partner in safeguarding their health: your veterinarian. Now you can honor your favorite veterinarian through the “Thank Your Vet for a Healthy Pet®” contest, sponsored by Morris Animal Foundation (MAF), Hill's Pet Nutrition and BowTie Inc., publishers of Veterinary Practice News, DOG FANCY and CAT FANCY magazines. The nationwide short-essay contest honors America’s veterinarians for their skill, dedication and commitment to ensuring that pets are healthier, happier and living longer.
