Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – September Edition 🗞️

Greetings! Welcome to the September edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month, I’m reminded about why I created this blog: to encourage people to adopt rescue and shelter animals.

My kitty Oscar who passed away last year, was adopted from a rescue. My latest family member, Mingus, was a feral cat, adopted from a shelter. Homeless animals may have special needs, like senior pets or hard to adopt pets, like a feral cat or dog. Let’s celebrate the joy and happiness of special needs pets. Learn all about them and enjoy!

Mobile Veterinary Clinics: Pros and Cons 🚚

In 2023 in the United States alone, over 393.3 million pets are living in their forever homes. Worldwide, over 1.1 billion pets live with their pet families. Pets need veterinary care and mobile veterinary clinics are stepping up to fill the gap.

Mobile clinics give veterinarians the benefit of running a business. And pet parents everywhere are taking notice of alternatives to the traditional veterinary clinics as the only source for pet care.

September Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

September is a good month for cooler weather and promoting animal awareness events. September awareness events encourage pet adoptions for less-popular animals.

Supporters can use creative social media to help special needs pets gain attention. The month ends with a day to remember homeless animals around the world.
