VPI’s Pet Cancer Awareness Campaign
A Coast-to-Coast Education and Fund-Raising Effort
In 2009, VPI received more than 30,000 claims for treatment of cancer—the No. 1 disease-related killer of dogs and cats. Fortunately, early detection and treatment of cancer in pets can prolong life and increase chances of survival. To promote pet cancer awareness and research, VPI hosts two philanthropic K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walks each year: one in New York, N.Y., and a second in Long Beach, Calif. The New York K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walk, which was held this past April, raised more than $8,000 for the Animal Cancer Foundation (ACF), a non-profit organization that strives to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer in pets and people.
The Fourth Annual West Coast VPI K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walk – November 13, 2010
For the fourth consecutive year, Veterinary Pet Insurance is leading the charge in raising pet cancer awareness with a fun-filled 3K (1.8 miles) walk for both people and their pets. This year’s K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walk carries participants along a picturesque trail through the Rainbow Harbor boardwalk and Shoreline Village Lighthouse Peninsula area in Downtown Long Beach, Calif.
