November Marks National Pet Cancer Awareness Month

Last year, VPI received over 63,000 claims related to cancer, which remains the number one disease related killer in both dogs and cats. In a continuing effort to educate pet owners about the prevalence, detection and treatment of pet cancer, VPI recognizes November as National Pet Cancer Awareness Month.

During the month of November, VPI, a Nationwide company, will donate $5 to the Animal Cancer Foundation (ACF), up to $10,000, for every photo, story or statistic shared on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using #CurePetCancer. VPI will also partner with the Animal Cancer Foundation to host the eighth annual VPI K9K Pet Cancer Awareness Walk on Nov. 9 in Long Beach, Calif., to raise funds for pet cancer research. Here’s how you can make a difference:
