IT WAS a case of Cats judging dogs in Torquay on Friday last week, as the Geelong Football Club announced a new partnership with Apiam
Animal Health.

The Geelong Football Club has signed Apiam Animal Health (which includes the Fur Life Vet brand of veterinary clinics) as their vet and pet membership partner, and celebrated the occasion with a “best dressed pet” competition at the new Fur Life Vet clinic in Torquay North.

Cats players Tom Stewart, Lachie Henderson and Jed Bews made some new four-legged friends at the event and were the official judges for the competition, duly giving high marks to any dogs wearing Geelong jumpers.

As part of the new agreement, Cats members will receive unlimited free consults on preventative and protective healthcare at Fur Life Vet clinics via a discount on their “Best Mates” Care Program.

“We are really excited to announce our new partnership with Apiam Animal Health,” the Cats’ chief commercial officer Braith Cox said.

“The partnership is a huge win for our members, offering real savings and peace of mind for those with little furry friends.

“It’s all about keeping our pets healthier and happier for longer.

“And we also hope the partnership will incentivise our supporters to consider our Pet Membership offering.”

Apiam Animal Health commercial manager Andrew Loorham said Fur life Vet clinics strove for high performance, excellence and community focus in everything they did, which closely aligned and complemented the partnership with the Geelong Football Club.
