Pets

Dogs and cats enrich our lives. They make the world a better place. So we’re proud to focus with passion on keeping pets healthy.

Protection against parasites anchors our focus on preventive care. NexGard® (afoxolaner) is the #1 vet-recommended, FDA-approved soft chew for dogs that kills both fleas and ticks. It also prevents infections that cause Lyme disease in dogs by killing infected black-legged ticks before they can transmit the infection. Our HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) chew for dogs, made with real beef, prevents heartworm disease and treats and controls hookworms and roundworms. It is the #1 vet-recommended heartworm preventive. And FRONTLINE® Plus brand products have been protecting dogs and cats from fleas and ticks for almost 20 years.

Through a legacy of vaccine excellence, we offer innovative products to prevent life-threatening infectious diseases in animals. Our market-leading brand PUREVAX® line of non-adjuvanted feline vaccines provides proven efficacy and an excellent safety profile. The RECOMBITEK® portfolio employs specialized vaccine technologies to provide comprehensive, proven protection against common canine infectious diseases. IMRAB® is the trusted name in rabies prevention with over 35 years of proven safety and efficacy.

Our therapeutic products primarily target chronic disease to improve the quality of life and survival time of pets. Some highlights include VETMEDIN® (pimobendan), which is indicated for the management of the signs of mild, moderate or severe congestive heart failure in dogs with atrioventricular valve disease or dilated cardiomyopathy, and products such as PREVICOX® (firocoxib) and METACAM® (meloxicam), which are indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs.
