For those who are new to Vetstoria’s content packs, let’s do a quick recap.
What Are Content Packs?
Content packs are pre-packaged sets of marketing materials covering important topics and themes that are important to share with pet owners. They’re designed to make it easy for you to promote your clinic and connect with your clients. Vetstoria Content Packs include a variety of content, such as social media posts, captions, pre-written emails, video reel templates, poster and flyer designs with eye-catching graphics and more. These templates are built in Canva where you can edit and customize them the way you want. You can even use Canva to schedule the posts on your social platforms. The aim? To help you consistently engage with your audience, save time, and enhance your clinic’s online visibility.
Why Are Content Packs Essential for Veterinary Marketing?
Engage with new and returning clients: Vetstoria’s content packs not only helps with veterinary marketing but also helps engage new and returning clients by providing consistent, fresh, and customizable content across various platforms. This engagement not only fosters client loyalty but also attracts new clients who find value in your clinic’s communications.
Professionalism: Well-designed content enhances your clinic’s professionalism and reputation. According to a research done by Whiskercloud, it takes a person less than two-tenths of a second to form an opinion about your brand when they visit your website while taking another 2.6 seconds for the eyes to fully adjust and respond to that impression. Content packs provide high-quality materials to impress your clients.
Time Savings: As a busy veterinary professional, you have enough on your plate. Content packs eliminate the need to brainstorm and create content from scratch, saving you valuable time.
It’s spooky season 👻
With Halloween just around the corner, do you know how to keep your pet safe during the celebrations?
During Halloween evening, we recommend you:
🐕 Walk your dog earlier in the day, as the streets will be busier than usual.
🚪 Keep your pet in a separate room with their toys and blankets.
🔒 Secure any escape routes, because stressed-out pets may try to run and get lost.
🤠 Keep your costume pet-safe, with no small bits that might be chewed off or become a choking hazard.
🐟 A few weeks in advance, move your cat’s dinner time to before it gets dark, to encourage them to come home earlier.
We also recommend for all pets to be microchipped. If they escape during the celebrations, this is the best way to guarantee they’ll be brought back home.
If your pet isn’t microchipped, book a microchipping appointment with us in via the link in our bio!
Is your pet easily stressed? Your vet might be able to prescribe medication to make Halloween night easier on them. Book a check-up via the link in the bio.

A few things you should know…
- The particular assets suggested in each daily block are linked to Canva where you can either export the assets as they are or make your edits and download it for use.
- We have used the assets from different content packs and spread it over the year to help you market your clinic in the best way possible. With our research we have suggested one or two topics that you can focus on in a particular month. For example, October is National Animal Safety and Protection Month and Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, which is a great opportunity to share content from our Pet Theft Awareness, Microchipping a Pet and Fostering a Pet content packs.
- As the busy Christmas period draws nearer, we have also suggested posts about reminding pet parents to ensure their pets are vaccinated before they travel with them. Additionally, in December we suggest sharing your opening and closing holiday hours with your clients.
- We have included assets to remind you at the beginning and at the end of a month to update your phone’s hold message and to put up, or take down flyers/posters.
- The majority of our Instagram and Facebook assets contain multiple posts per pack. Where the content pack is marked as ‘single image’, please use any of the single images you like with our suggested caption. On some days, you will see we’ve suggested sharing one of the ‘carousel’ posts, with a suggested caption. Carousels are Instagram posts containing multiple images that users can swipe through within a single post.
- We suggest you always keep the posters for ‘Boost Online Bookings‘ and ‘Leave a Review’ up in the clinic. Additionally, you should pin your Boost Online Bookings posts to your Instagram and Facebook pages so your clients can easily see them when they come to your profile.
Please know, this calendar is just a guide to remind you of any upcoming dates, events, or other opportunities to share important information or promotions with your clients. You do not need to follow it exactly as we have suggested, and you don’t need to do it all in order to have a positive impact on your clients! How you use the guide is entirely up to you.
