Local pet owners prepare for Operation TransPAWmation

Local pet owners are preparing for Operation TransPAWmation, an initiative aimed at encouraging owners to take proactive steps in improving their pets’ health and well-being.

Now in its ninth year, the nationwide Petmania campaign empowers pet owners with free, expert-led guidance to make meaningful changes in their pets' daily care.

Running throughout February and March, this year’s initiative is more comprehensive than ever, offering accessible pet care advice tailored to every pet’s needs.

While 78% of dog owners and 76% of cat owners rely on their vets for guidance, financial constraints remain a challenge. Alarmingly, 10% of pet owners admit to avoiding vet visits due to cost, and 60% of dogs and 76% of cats remain uninsured.

Through Operation TransPAWmation, Petmania aims to bridge these gaps by offering free expert advice and tailored pet care solutions to Westmeath's pet community.

This year’s campaign focuses on optimum nutrition, treating with function, everyday health care, grooming, and exercise and play.

Petmania's expert team is on hand to assist pet owners with weight and Body Condition Score checks for dogs and cats, along with guidance on nutrition, grooming, and exercise. Additionally, pet owners can take advantage of walk-in microchipping events happening in-store throughout February and March.

As pet owners, we want to give our pets the best possible life. Operation TransPAWmation equips pet owners with practical tools and expert advice to enhance their pets’ overall health and happiness. From refining their diet to better understanding grooming and exercise needs, this campaign empowers pet owners to make small, meaningful changes that will benefit their furry companions

Local pet owners can sign up for Operation TransPAWmation online at www.petmania.ie/ot for personalized guidance, exclusive discounts, and exciting prizes. Alternatively, they can visit Petmania Athlone to kickstart their pet’s health journey with guidance from qualified pet care advisors.
