Stronghold ® Veterinary Pet Care Awards

Sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health
in association with The Irish Veterinary Journal

Acknowledging High Standard of Veterinary Pet Care

This annual Irish award programme, originally launched in the year 2000, gives you – members of the public and pet owners - the opportunity to acknowledge top quality veterinary care and services.

If you believe that your veterinary practice or an individual in the team has done a particularly good job caring for your pet, or if there was a particular issue which they dealt with in a compassionate or highly professional way, then please tell us your story.

This may be a way for you to simply say “thank you” for a particular incident, or it may be that your veterinary team has provided high standards of care consistently over a long time.

This award programme does demonstrate how much pets mean to their owners. However the Stronghold Awards also highlight the need to care for the health of pets properly in terms of publicising the importance of responsible pet ownership.
