1. World Wildlife Day: Observed annually on 3rd March, this is an important day to promote the need for wildlife protection and understanding. Show your appreciation for the incredible diversity of plant and animal species that make our planet so unique by reminding your online followers about the countless advantages of environmental conservation. Share with your community what this day means to you and your team, and highlight your own conservation efforts on your veterinary website and social media channels.
2. International Women’s Day: The 8th of March is a day to celebrate women’s achievements globally, raise awareness about gender inequality, and promote action toward universal equality. You can engage your online community in a constructive dialogue by reflecting on the many global contributions women have made—including within veterinary medicine and other fields—and by addressing the systematic challenges women continue to encounter today.
3. St. Patrick’s Day: Celebrate Irish culture and heritage on 17 March! Join in by sharing pictures of your team and customers wearing green. It’s also a great opportunity to remind pet owners to keep toxic substances, such as alcohol, safely away from their pets.
4. Nutrition and Hydration Week: Between 16 and 22 March this year, focus on educating pet owners on the necessity of a healthy lifestyle for their pets, particularly ensuring proper eating and drinking habits. Use social media to inform your followers about the warning signs of pet malnutrition and dehydration, and advise them on the necessary steps to take if their pet is consistently not eating or drinking enough. You could also offer discounts on wellness exams for pet owners who book appointments online.
5. First Day of Spring: Spring officially begins on the 20th of March! Celebrate the new season by engaging your online community: ask pet owners what activities they enjoy doing with their pets in the spring, remind them about the importance of preventive care check-ups, and encourage them to book these routine services on any device without calling.
Promote online booking in the clinic and on your social media with our free marketing materials.
6. International Day of Happiness: 20 March is also a day to celebrate worldwide cheer. Share cheerful pictures, videos, or stories of your team, clients, and their pets on your veterinary website and social media platforms—and encourage your online followers to join in! You could also offer advice to pet owners on promoting the happiest lives for their animals through healthy habits, like consistent routines and daily activity and play.
7. Tick Bite Prevention Week: From the 24th to the 30th of March this year, educate pet owners on social media about the risks associated with tick bites for both humans and pets. Help keep everyone safe from disease by sharing prevention tips for tick encounters and bites, and by promoting up-to-date vaccinations. Consider offering a special incentive (like a 10% discount on pet vaccines for clients who book online) to incentivise pet owners to schedule these important preventative care services with your team.

8. Mother’s Day: The 15th of March is an extra special time to celebrate mothers across the country! Remember to wish your social media followers a happy Mother’s Day, and shine a spotlight on the wonderful things both human and non-human mothers do for their young. Consider collaborating with a local organisation to help connect prospective pet mothers with a nearby shelter for adoption.
