Veterinary marketing ideas and social media graphics for March

Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month: Emphasize the responsible adoption of rescued guinea pigs throughout March. Remind your pet community that local animal shelters often have surrendered guinea pigs available for adoption, similar to dogs and cats. Engage your online followers by sharing fun facts (like what guinea pigs enjoy eating and their preferred living environments) to inspire them to consider adopting one!

National Pig Day: Take a moment on March 1st to celebrate our loving piggy friends. Encourage your community to share stories or fun facts about pigs, like how they’re considered to be one of the most intelligent domesticated animals in the world! If you offer any related veterinary services, now is the perfect time to highlight your offerings on your custom veterinary website or social media.

National Poison Prevention Week: From March 15th to March 21st, stress the importance of preventing dangerous pet encounters with poisonous food (e.g., chocolate, grapes, raisins) as well as how some succulents are dangerous for cats. Be sure to tell your community what to do if their pets ingest poisonous food and harmful substances, including immediately calling or visiting the closest emergency vet.

St. Patrick’s Day: March 17th is perfect for connecting with your online community by joining in on the Irish festivities. Encourage your followers to share cute and funny photos of their pets dressed up for the occasion, and boost engagement by offering a lucky discount (e.g., 15% off their next online appointment booking) for the person with the best photo! It’s important to also remind pet parents about keeping toxic substances out of their pets’ reach on this day, such as candies and alcoholic beverages.

First Day of Spring: Spring into conversation on March 20th by asking your followers things like where they enjoy taking their pets as the weather starts to warm up. Use this day to remind pet parents about the importance of staying on top of vaccinations and wellness exams for their pets. Be sure to invite your followers to directly book these routine services online 24/7 without a phone call.

International Day of Happiness: Observed annually on March 20th, this day is for celebrating and spreading cheer around the world. Create a social media post and ask your online followers to reply with their happiest pet stories, pictures, or videos in the comments. You could even hold a “Zoomies Contest” and reward the owner of the most energetic pet with a free dental cleaning when they book their next wellness exam online. Reinforce the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyles for pets to make them as happy as possible.

Earth Hour: Earth Hour is on Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in your own local time. Encourage pet parents to participate by having them switch off non-essential lights and utilities during this hour. You could also partner with a known environmental organization, and donate a portion of the day’s online booking proceeds to incentivize clients to book online without calling your practice.

National Puppy Day: March 23rd is all about shining a light on the horrors of puppy mills, and promoting responsible shelter adoption. It's the perfect day to celebrate the sweet, furry pals you've helped by posting their pics or stories—and getting your online followers to do the same! Consider teaming up with a local shelter or rescue group to help connect loving families with pets needing homes. Does your clinic offer puppy-specific services? Shout them out on your social media channels, and offer 10% off initial wellness exams when pup parents book online.

Respect Your Cat Day: March 28th is the purr-fect day to give some extra attention to cats and kittens. Use your custom website and social media channels to share helpful tips and best practices for maintaining the healthy lifestyle that every cat deserves. You could also offer cat parents a limited-time discount when they book routine appointments online, such as 15% off vaccinations.
