November pet- and vet-related calendar

When it comes to animals during November, turkeys are likely to first come to mind. But this is also the month that highlights groomers, senior pets and animal shelters. Consider doing a cross promotion for referrals at a local grooming salon or recognizing veterinarians and staff who have served our country, along with your clients. Bonus: if you work with wildlife, consider Guy “Hawkes’ Day on the 5th as a riff on that holiday.
