Heartworm disease is a serious condition that can afflict pets. The disease is transmitted through an infected mosquito bite, and manifests in worms surrounding the animal's heart. One million dogs on average have heartworm disease. It can be expensive and challenging to treat, but it is entirely preventable through proper channels, like taking monthly heartworm preventative.
All year long there are scores of events tailor made for finned, feathered or furry friends. Use these pet-related events for a springboard for all sorts of marketing and inclusive promotions. Just about any retailer can tie into a pet-related sponsorship or event, but pet stores, groomers, dog sitters/walkers, pet hotels, veterinarians, pet waste clean-up companies, and much more are ideal businesses for complementary advertising. Search the wealth of pet material in Metro's Editorial and Creative Libraries to add more bite to promotional efforts.
