DALLAS, Texas (November 4, 2020) - The Dallas/Fort Worth Humane Society (DFWHS) today announced that they have been awarded a $2,500 donation from Virbac Corporation’s The Every Pet Project, right in time for National Animal Shelter & Rescue Appreciation Week.

The National Animal Shelter & Rescue Appreciation Week was created in 1996 and takes place the first week of November. This week was set aside to help encourage people to learn more about their local shelters, what they are doing to help animals, and how they can help also!

National Veterinary Technician Week is October 11-17, 2020. At Virbac, veterinary technicians are crucial partners to our business. They provide compassionate, high quality care to animals in their practices to make sure that pets and pet owners thrive.

We want to say thank you to all the veterinary technicians! We value the work you do, and are grateful to be your partner in animal health.

This week we’re going to highlight some of our veterinary technicians that mean the world to us.

Are you working on a fresh start to 2020? How about freshening up your pet? Shampoos, toothpastes, and an ear cleaner to make them sparkle and shine for this new year and decade.

As we celebrate National Cat Month, it is only fair that we highlight the Scottish Fold, one of the Cat Fanciers’ Association’s forty-two pedigreed breeds.  

Isn’t it funny how the scooting always seems to happen when you have guests over or have just spent hours vacuuming and shampooing the carpet?  This is an age old question of many pet owners.  Consider these possibilities when you find your pet scooting.

Welcome to the dog days of summer! The dog days refer to the hottest time during the summer spanning from early July into August and coincide with the rising of the Dog Star, Sirius.  Sirius is the brightest star in the Canis Major (meaning “Greater Dog”) constellation.  

Basset Hounds are a jovial, mischievous, loyal and stubborn breed!  And might I mention, they are some of the cutest puppies out there!  They make a wonderful family dog given their low-key demeanor and social nature. 

This may very well be the most commonly asked question of veterinarians, without an overwhelmingly scientific answer! 

Meet Tiber.  Owner, Cyndi Duke, recently wrote to Virbac to tell her story of how her dog, Tiber, has enjoyed C.E.T. ^® Toothpaste for 17 years!

Veterinarians and pet owners alike spend a considerable amount of time looking at or talking about poop. Why is this the case?
