Celebrating the veterinary heroes who keep our pets healthy

At the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society, we believe in the power of community — and that includes the dedicated veterinary professionals who work tirelessly every day to care for our beloved pets. These unsung heroes help keep families together by ensuring our furry companions stay healthy and happy. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the return of our Veterinary Appreciation Contest, running from June 2–15, 2025! 

This campaign is our way of saying thank you to the veterinarians, technicians, and support staff across Ontario who go above and beyond. It’s also an exciting opportunity for pet lovers like you to give back — by nominating and voting for your favourite local clinic! 

Ontario SPCA Veterinary Appreciation Contest 

This year, we’ve made the contest even easier to participate in: 

• Nomination Week: From June 2-8, show your appreciation by nominating your veterinary clinic on our contest platform at vetappreciation.ca. Simply provide the details of the clinic you’d like to recognize. 

• Voting Week: From June 9-15, visit vetappreciation.ca. to cast your vote. Ask your friends and family to show their support by voting as well! You can search for your clinic by name or city, and your vote will help decide which clinic wins this year’s prize. 

• Winner Announcement: On June 16, the winning clinic — determined by your votes — will receive a special plaque of recognition and a delicious lunch for their hardworking team, courtesy ofthe Ontario SPCA!  

Clinics will also have access to a downloadable digital asset kit from our contest page to help them rally support on social media from their community.  

Whether it’s a routine checkup or lifesaving emergency care, veterinary professionals make a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them. Let’s show them how much we care.
