The holidays are over and we’re about to head into that last span of winter that seems to last forever. Lighten up your social media profiles with some fun February content that excites and inspires pet owners near you. Here are some fun ideas for your February veterinary content:

Spotlight on Valentine’s Day

From heart-filled photo contests to DIY Valentine treats that are safe for pets, February 14th is a great time for sharing pet-related content. Turn your Valentine content into a multi-faceted approach that helps to educate, engage, and influence local pet owners. Your Valentine-themed content can include:

• A blog on holiday safety for pets that talks about the potential dangers of things like chocolate and toys that could be choking hazards. 
• A post asking followers to share pictures of their favorite Valentine’s (AKA their pets). 
• A Valentine’s Day display in the hospital where your visitors can stop and get their photo taken for the hospital’s social media pages. 
• A post with suggestions about what to do with pets on Valentine’s Day
• A short video that teaches how to make pet-friendly treats to share the love with our furry friends. 

Pet Dental Tips and Tricks

February also happens to be Pet Dental Health Month, which is the perfect time to remind your followers about the importance of caring for their pet’s teeth and gums. Create a content calendar that incorporates a little bit of dental tips into each week of the month. Some ideas include:

• Running a special on pet dental cleanings and advertising it on your social media pages.
• Writing a few blogs about different topics relating to oral health for pets.
• Sharing some how-to videos on brushing canine and feline teeth. 
• Creating an educational social post with statistics about pet dental health.
