The nationwide campaign encourages pet owners to schedule annual checkups ahead of National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day on August 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"900\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 720 \/ 900;\" width=\"720\" controls src=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/OG-Anunoby-VCA-Royal-Canin.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative highlights a major care gap identified by Mars Petcare and Mars Veterinary Health. Looking at data from over three million pet visits in 2025, veterinarians found that dogs accounted for nearly 80% of clinic appointments, while cats made up only 20%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feline vet visits also decline by 26% once cats transition into young adulthood (ages 1 to 3). During this period, nearly 30% of young cats develop dental calculus, and 10% struggle with gingivitis or unhealthy weight gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because cats naturally hide discomfort, Anunoby stresses that proactive veterinary exams are essential for early diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This campaign expands Anunoby\u2019s ongoing relationship with both brands, following their &#8220;OG&#8217;s Starting Five&#8221; initiative that funded nutrition and medical care for shelter cats. Royal Canin has regularly teamed up with celebrity pet lovers, such as actor <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/scott-eastwood\/endorsements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scott Eastwood<\/a>, to champion pet wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new campaign also adds to a busy commercial run for Anunoby who serves as a featured brand ambassador for Skechers. Recently, he <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/og-anunoby-teams-up-with-essentia-water-to-launch-times-square-basketball-activation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teamed up with Essentia Water to launch a Times Square basketball activation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He joins a wider movement of athletes and entertainers stepping into pet wellness. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/ashton-jeanty\/endorsements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ashton Jeanty<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/ashton-jeanty-teams-up-with-petiq-for-first-national-athlete-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teamed up with PetIQ for a major athlete partnership<\/a> to expand accessible clinic care, while <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/josh-hutcherson\/endorsements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Josh Hutcherson<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/josh-hutcherson-reunites-with-hills-pet-nutrition-for-clear-the-shelters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reunited with Hill&#8217;s Pet Nutrition for Clear The Shelters<\/a> to boost nationwide pet adoptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This partnership marks an effective blend of sports culture and targeted veterinary public health. By aligning with a high-profile NBA defensive anchor known for discipline and routine, Royal Canin and VCA Animal Hospitals frame feline checkups as an essential wellness regimen rather than a sporadic errand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move helps normalize cat healthcare among a wider demographic and shows how cause-driven sports endorsements can directly tackle specific public education gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How might athlete endorsements in the pet health category change how younger pet owners prioritize preventive veterinary care? Could more lifestyle and wellness brands tap professional athletes for cause-led pet health initiatives?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OG Anunoby, star forward for the New York Knicks, has partnered with Royal Canin and VCA Animal Hospitals to champion feline preventive healthcare.
