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
\nAnimal Health.<\/p>\n

The Geelong Football Club<\/a> 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 \u201cbest dressed pet\u201d competition at the new Fur Life Vet clinic in Torquay North.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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 \u201cBest Mates\u201d Care Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really excited to announce our new partnership with Apiam Animal Health,\u201d the Cats\u2019 chief commercial officer Braith Cox said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnership is a huge win for our members, offering real savings and peace of mind for those with little furry friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about keeping our pets healthier and happier for longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we also hope the partnership will incentivise our supporters to consider our Pet Membership offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
