A Correspondent, New York Pfizer Animal Health launched a major initiative to help animal shelters keep the pets in their care healthy, happy and adoptable. The Revolution Shelter Donation Program will protect the health of shelter animals by addressing the problem of parasite infestation. It will also help raise awareness among pet owners about the importance of protecting their dogs and cats from potentially dangerous parasites.
Parasite infestation can be a problem for all pets.
Among the most common are heartworm, fleas, and ear mites. If untreated, some of these parasites can cause serious health problems, and in some cases, even death. By addressing the problem of parasite infestation, the Revolution Shelter Donation Program will free up resources earmarked for parasite protection and other animal welfare initiatives, such as promoting adoption and responsible pet ownership. By keeping pets in shelters healthy, we hope to encourage more adoptions.
