Keeping Animals Healthy website launched

This website www.keepinganimalshealthy.org is aimed to help consumers and policymakers better understand the important role of public policy in providing animal medicines to keep both animals and humans healthy.

“Americans are becoming more aware of the relationship between animal health and public health,” said AHI President and CEO Alexander S. Mathews. “Thoughtful public policies are needed to manage the risk of diseases that can be spread between animals and humans.”

The website explains the advocacy positions taken by AHI to promote animal health and gives the public information regarding the rigorous, science-based review processes in place at the federal agencies that regulate animal health products.

“The public and policymakers at the federal, state and local levels are more interested than ever in ways to protect human health by protecting animal health,” said Mathews. “We hope this website is a valuable source of information for those interested in effectively protecting animal health.”
