Abhay Nayak, Executive Vice President and President, U.S. Commercial Operations at Zoetis

“Anyone who has tried to give a dog pills for a week or two knows how challenging it can be to stay on schedule. Convenia® (cefovecin sodium) has been a veterinarian-trusted treatment for susceptible bacterial skin infections for over a decade and has helped remove the burden of continued and accurate dosing that is typically required with oral antibiotics”

Abhay Nayak, Executive Vice President and President, U.S. Commercial Operations at Zoetis

“With Convenia RTU for Dogs, we are building on the established Convenia portfolio with a formulation designed for use in dogs of all sizes.”

“I really believe that we, as veterinarians, underestimate adherence to our recommendations for antibiotic therapy. Our clients lead very busy lives and sometimes it’s difficult to remember who gave the correct dose and when it was given”

“Medications that require twice or three times daily administration are often associated with poor compliance. If an antibiotic is medically appropriate, giving it by injection ensures compliance, and reduces the likelihood of resistance.”
