Walktober Challenge: Go the Distance with Vetted Pet Health
Fall is the perfect time to get outdoors, enjoy the crisp air, and strengthen the bond between you and your dog. This October, Vetted Pet Health invites you to take part in the Walktober Challenge, a fun, motivating way to build healthy habits, get moving, and earn rewards for every mile you walk together.
Whether you’re a morning walker or a weekend trail explorer, the Walktober Challenge turns every step into a chance to go further; for your health and your dog’s happiness.
What Is the Walktober Challenge?
The Walktober Challenge is a week-long event that encourages pet parents to stay active with their dogs using the Vetted Pet Health App. Your goal: take the longest walk you can with your dog between now and October 24th, 2025.
At the end of the challenge, we’ll celebrate the top three participants with the longest verified walks, and reward them with Care Coins they can use right in the app.
What You Can Win
The top three participants with the longest verified walking distances will earn Care Coin prizes:
- 1st - A Vetted Pet Health Hoodie & 4,000 coins ($10)
- 2nd - 4,000 coins ($10)
- 3rd - 2,000 coins ($5)
Care Coins can be redeemed for in-app perks and rewards that support your pet’s health and wellness journey.
