Zoetis supports WSAVA Global Pain Council

Zoetis has joined the World Small Animal Veterinary Association to support WSAVA’s Global Pain Council, a group of global veterinarians with expertise in companion animal pain management.

The council aims to address global differences in the assessment and management of animal pain by providing education and advisory resources for veterinarians. Those resources include the Global Pain Guidelines and a “teach the teachers” program to help spread knowledge on effective pain management around the world.

“Managing our patients’ pain is one of the most important things we do as veterinarians,” said Shane Ryan, WSAVA’s president. “Variations in the provision of effective pain management globally are a serious concern, and the Global Pain Council, through its Global Pain Guidelines and other resources, is already providing enormous animal health and welfare benefits. Now, with the support of Zoetis, the GPC will be able to achieve even more.”

“Zoetis is committed to supporting veterinarians in helping improve the lives of dogs and cats living with pain,” said Abhay Nayak, senior vice president and head of corporate strategy, commercial development and customer experience at Zoetis. “We are excited to partner with leaders at WSAVA and the Global Pain Council to extend our reach in providing education and resources to veterinarians worldwide to benefit more pets.”
