Petmania launches operation TransPAWmation in support of pet wellness
Petmania kicks off its ninth annual Operation TransPAWmation campaign, offering free expert advice and resources to help pet owners improve their pets’ health and wellbeing
Print7 February 2025
Petmania, Ireland’s leading pet care specialist, has officially launched the ninth annual Operation TransPAWmation campaign, designed to empower pet owners nationwide to provide the best possible care for their beloved pets.
This year’s initiative runs throughout February and March and promises to be the most comprehensive yet, offering pet owners free access to personalised pet care advice, helping them identify small changes that can have a big impact on their pet’s health and wellbeing.
The campaign was unveiled on 6 February at the Dot Theatre with an engaging panel discussion hosted by Dublin City FM’s Stephen Daly.
Panelists
Panelists included veterinary expert Bobby Ortiz, Petmania’s operations manager, Antoinette Long, Petmania’s grooming specialist Tara Murphy, and Damien Hanley, from Agria Pet Insurance, delivering actionable insights to an enthusiastic audience of pet owners and media attendees.
Recent research shared by Agria Pet Insurance has highlighted key concerns among pet owners in Ireland.
While 78% of dog owners and 76% of cat owners turn to their vet as their first source of guidance, financial barriers remain significant.
10% of pet owners admit to avoiding vet visits due to cost, and 60% of dogs and 76% of cats are currently uninsured.
TransPAWmation
Petmania’s Operation TransPAWmation aims to bridge these gaps by providing accessible, expert-led advice and resources tailored to every pet’s needs.
This year’s campaign focuses on five key areas of everyday pet wellness: optimum nutrition, treating with function, everyday health care, grooming and exercise & play.
Petmania’s pet care experts are available at stores nationwide to assist pet owners with each of these issues, as well as providing weight and Body Condition Score checks for dogs and cats, and walk-in microchipping events throughout February and March.
“As pet owners, we all want to give our pets the best possible life. Operation TransPAWmation is an incredible initiative that equips pet owners with practical tools and expert advice to enhance their pets’ overall health and happiness,” said Emily Miller, sales and marketing manager, Petmania.
From refining their diet to better understanding grooming or exercise needs, this campaign empowers pet owners to make meaningful changes that benefit their furry companions.
