MADISON, N.J.--Pfizer Animal Health (PAH) has launched two educational
web sites to communicate advancements in veterinary dermatology and help
improve the discussions between veterinarians and pet owners about
allergic skin conditions.
The two sites—www.mypetitches.com
and www.itchcycle.com
—bring visitors the latest research and news from the dermatological
community and highlight new information about PAH’s portfolio of
products for allergic skin conditions.
Candace Sousa, DVM, DABVP, DACVD, a dermatologist and senior veterinary
specialist with the Pfizer Animal Health Veterinary Specialty Team, said
the launch of the two sites represents PAH’s ongoing commitment to
advancing veterinary dermatology—from providing educational tools,
programs and websites to researching and developing new molecules and
treatment pathways.
“Every day in clinics and hospitals across the country, a significant
portion of a veterinarian’s schedule is spent treating pets with
allergic skin conditions and discussing treatment options with pet
owners,” Sousa said. “We recognize this important challenge and have
committed the resources to provide veterinarians and dermatology
specialists tools to facilitate better discussions with pet owners and
establish individualized treatment protocols for each patient that
address pruritus and skin infections, while working to diagnose the
underlying cause of skin conditions.”
The two websites will be formally introduced to veterinarians at the
upcoming 7th World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology (WCVD) Meeting
2012 in Vancouver, British Columbia, in late July.
