May 3rd marks the beginning of National Pet Health week. It is a time when we celebrate the wonderful relationships we have with our pets and talk about providing the best health care for our companions. We now also recognize the interrelationship of animal health, human health and health of the environment we all share and call this ONE HEALTH.
Examples of ONE HEALTH include the increasing incidence of Lyme disease, the emergence of diseases like West Nile disease and the rise in both childhood and pet obesity.
On Sunday May 3rd public health and safety officials, veterinarians, environmental organizations and local businesses will participate in a community wide event, the Englewood One Health Day, in Veterans Park. Information and displays about pet and human health and environmental issues will be available as well as activities for families.
