Animals, like humans, are prone to disease or illness and need medicine to treat & prevent disease. Better animal health is an essential part of animal welfare. These medicines are categorized into three types: pesticides, biologics and pharmaceuticals. Pesticides are tick and flea products. Biologics are generally known as vaccines.
