The Responsible Use of Medicines in Pets
At Elanco, we know how much your pet means to you. That's why we want to help you keep them healthy through responsible medicine use.
Most pets will need treatment at some point in their lives, whether for parasites like fleas and ticks, or for other health issues. When we use these treatments, it is essential that they are used responsibly. Pet health products can be obtained from your vet, pet retail stores, pharmacies or online. No matter where they come from, the principles of responsible use remain the same:
Principles of Responsible Use of Medicines in pets
- Follow advice: be aware of the treatment that your pet requires, always using as directed by the product instructions.
