Veterinary marketing ideas and social media graphics to use in December

1. Holiday boarding services: If your clinic offers boarding or daycare, December is an especially great time to showcase your facilities, introduce your team, and highlight why your boarding center is the best choice for their pets. Feature comfy rooms, engaging activities, and personalized attention, making your services a true home away from home.

2. Holiday toxins for pets: The holidays are also a great time to remind pet parents about foods that are dangerous for pets, including grapes and raisins. Educate your community on the importance of securing toxins, supervising pets, informing their guests, and having a safe and fun holiday season.

3. National Cat Lovers’ Month: December is a chance to take advantage of your custom veterinary website and social media channels to share your team’s fondness for felines—showcasing your beloved cat patients and offering valuable cat health advice. Be sure to invite your followers to join the celebration by sharing cat photos of their own!

4. International Day of Vet Med: December 9th is your time to shine! Celebrate you and your colleagues in the clinic with decorations, a free lunch, and any other ways you can show appreciation. Use social media to highlight your team members and their individual accomplishments, and collect testimonials from clients to create a virtual “thank you” wall for staff.

5. International Animal Rights Day: December 10th is a significant day for global animal rights advocacy, and your practice can get involved by sharing resources from known animal rights organizations with your online community. Consider throwing in a one-day promotion (like 10% off wellness exams) for pet parents who book your services online, promoting responsible pet ownership and preventative care.

6. Monkey Day: December 14th celebrates monkeys and their simian relatives, such as apes and lemurs. Go bananas with your marketing by spotlighting funny monkey stories on social media, creating an online quiz to test your followers’ primate knowledge, and offering banana treats for pets in the clinic. You could also partner with a local sanctuary to encourage your clients to support the well-being of primates.

7. Hanukkah: Celebrate Hanukkah December 14th to the 22nd by spreading positive messages of love and light. Wish your social media community a happy Hanukkah, and invite them to share photos celebrating the holiday with their pets.

8. Christmas Day: Make the most of the holiday season by extending your Christmas celebrations throughout December. Share festive content, decorate your clinic, and remind your clients about holiday hours and closures.

9. Kwanzaa: Celebrate African-American culture from December 26 to January 1 by wishing team members and social media followers a happy Kwanzaa! Invite your community to share festive photos (including with their pets!) and stories of how they’re celebrating the week.

10. New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day: Get your New Year’s resolutions ready! A new year means a new opportunity to encourage responsible pet ownership, emphasizing the importance of preventive pet care with tips on diet, exercise, and dental care. Be sure to end the year by sharing your team’s accomplishments and updates!
