Fighting antimicrobial resistance as a pet owner

Antimicrobials, including antibiotics, help animals and humans live longer and healthier lives. But many of these life-saving drugs are losing their effectiveness as the microbes they target develop resistance.

AMR can greatly affect the health, treatment options, and overall well-being of our pets. As these animals often live in our houses and in close contact with our families, appropriate use of antibiotics can also ensure that our family members remain healthy and that these vital drugs remain effective for future generations.
