Royal Canin And Celebrity 'AdvoCATs' Team Up For Annual 'Take Your Cat To The Vet' Campaign


ST. CHARLES, Mo., Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- There are more than 90 million cats in United States households1, yet more than half do not receive a yearly veterinary exam. In order to improve healthcare for cats in the United States, Royal Canin®, a global leader in cat nutrition, is launching its annual Take Your Cat to the Vet (#Cat2Vet) campaign. In partnership with celebrity and pet industry advocates including Banfield Pet Hospital, Chewy and PetSmart, the campaign will encourage pet owners to schedule regular veterinary checkups for their feline companions.

Actress and cat lover Mayim Bialik, veterinarian and reality television star Dr. Diarra Blue and kitten rescuer Hannah Shaw (Kitten Lady) have all joined the movement to help raise awareness about this important issue with a new public service announcement (PSA) emphasizing the need for cats to visit their veterinarian on a regular basis.

"Cats are such stoic animals that you often don't know when they are hiding an illness or injury, but it's up to us, the pet owners, to be their advocates," said Bialik. "Royal Canin's Take Your Cat to the Vet campaign serves as an important reminder that, just like humans, our cats need regular wellness checkups and, for some cats, even more frequent visits."

Despite the gap in preventative veterinary visits, cat owners have deep bonds with their cats and are curious about ways to better care for their cats. A survey taken this year, commissioned by Royal Canin, provides new insights:

Royal Canin has developed six ways for the cat community to join the #Cat2Vet campaign:

"One of the most important parts of my role as a veterinarian is making sure I'm taking care of the physical and emotional health of my feline patients," said Dr. Natalie Marks, medical director of Blum Animal Hospital and #Cat2Vet spokesperson. "The #Cat2Vet campaign provides much needed guidelines and information for cat owners to remove the stress and anxiety of the veterinary visit so cats can benefit from a thorough physical exam, wellness screening and preventative vaccinations."

Royal Canin is also joined by numerous pet industry organizations rallying together to help support the campaign. Participating organizations include the American Association of Feline Practitioners, American Veterinary Medical Association, Banfield Pet Hospital, The Bridge Club, CATalyst Council, Cat Fancier's Association, Chewy, Feliway, Frankie's Friends, GreaterGood.org, Human Animal Bond Association, Human Animal Bond Research Institute, Kinship, Million Cat Challenge, National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America, PetSmart, SleepyPod, The International Cat Association, and WINN Feline Foundation.

"The #Cat2Vet campaign will motivate cat owners to not only schedule regular veterinary visits, but to continuously educate themselves on cat health and nutrition," said Dr. Diarra Blue, co-owner of Cy-Fair Animal Hospital and reality television star. "Royal Canin is hoping that having more happy and healthy cats will bring us one step closer to a better world for pets."
