Twenty million banner advertisements will be posted on web sites internationally through November, with the goals of promoting the importance of AAHA accreditation and pet owner education, says Jason Merrihew, AAHA marketing communications coordinator.

"Pain management, zoonotic diseases and toxic items were chosen because they appeal to public interest and tie into AAHA initiativese," Merrihew says.

Those visiting the banner ad web sites can also take an interactive survey on HealthyPet.com .
