The 2026 VETTY Awards® program will be the 10th year that NAVC has recognized excellence in marketing within the animal health care industry. If you are a company or agency within the animal health care industry, we hope you’ll enter the marketing you’ve done to promote products, services or programs that help keep animals healthy and happy.
What is the VETTY Awards®? NAVC introduced the VETTY Awards® in 2017 to recognize marketing excellence – including advertising, social media, graphic design, special events, promotional material like brochures, and more – created in the animal health care industry. This includes marketing from global pharmaceutical companies to the locally owned veterinary office.
