Responsible pet owners give their pets the best quality healthcare to ensure that they lead happy and healthy lives. Veterinary medicines are valuable tools that enable them to do this under the guidance of veterinarians.

Benefits of the responsible use of veterinary medicines to pet owners include:

• Prevention of diseases through vaccination.

• Safeguarding the health and welfare of companion animals through effective treatments that reduce the burden of disease and relieve unnecessary pain and suffering of the animals.

• Control of diseases that can be transmitted to humans by pets (zoonoses) through close contact and shared environment (MRSA, Toxocara spp etc.).

• Reducing the occurrence of pathogens that might seriously compromise the health of animals and people. This is obtained through responsible use of veterinary medicines as an integral part of successful treatment.
