Our work is never done. We are always looking for the next unmet need. To help pets live longer, healthier lives with the people who love them. To help producers raise healthier, more productive livestock. To help veterinarians provide the best care to pets and farm animals. Our scientists explore innovations across the continuum of animal health care – to predict, prevent, detect and treat disease.

Dermatology

APOQUEL® has quickly become the standard in dermatological care for veterinarians. Unlike steroids, which can lead to weight gain, Apoquel works quickly with minimal side effects, offering fast, targeted, easy to apply relief from itching within just 4 hours.

CYTOPOINT© is the first ever monoclonal antibody treatment for allergic and atopic dermatitis. This means it can use a dog’s own immune system to block the urge to itch, relying on proteins rather than chemicals to achieve the desired result.

Center for Transboundary and Emerging Diseases

We organize our response to outbreaks of infectious diseases worldwide through our Center for Transboundary and Emerging Diseases. Zoetis scientists mobilize resources from across the company and work closely with leaders from government, health organizations, and the veterinary and livestock agricultural communities to identify infectious disease threats early and develop solutions, including vaccines and diagnostic tests, to help rapidly control them.

Our scientists combat transboundary and emerging diseases that threaten livestock and pets well as those zoonotic diseases that can also transmit between animals and people. These include emerging new infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, and ever-present disease threats such as Foot and Mouth Disease that affects cattle, pigs and sheep, and African Swine Fever which can devastate herds, impact the food supply, and harm the incomes of farmers who depend on animals for livelihoods.

The Center supports a One Health approach by focusing on the approximately 200 diseases identified by the World Health Organization as zoonotic and can transmit between animals and people. Examples include Rift Valley Fever, Rabies, and Hendra virus.

Partnering with Zoetis

Creative approaches often mean seeking a different perspective, looking outside our own laboratory walls. We build unique partnerships that help strengthen our diverse portfolio and expand further into complementary spaces. To complement our strong and diverse R&D pipeline, we seek research collaborations that combine complementary talents, expertise and passion with the organizational capacity to deliver innovative products that can advance the care for animals.
