Zoetis Donates CORE EQ INNOVATOR® Vaccines to Partners of the ASPCA’s Right Horse

NEW YORK– The ASPCA^® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals^®) today announced that Zoetis has generously donated 1,500 doses of CORE EQ INNOVATOR^® vaccine to its Right Horse Adoption Partners and the horses in their care.

“Zoetis’ ongoing support of the ASPCA’s Right Horse Adoption Partners is just one example of how the equine industry is committed to elevating equine adoption and helping horses in transition,” said Dr. Emily Weiss, vice president of ASPCA Equine Welfare. “We are grateful to Zoetis for their generous donation as it will assist equine organizations in their efforts to help more at-risk horses.”

The ASPCA’s Right Horse Adoption Partners care for equines of varying breeds, ages and backgrounds as they transition from one home or career to the next. All horses face ongoing exposure to the five potentially-fatal “core” equine diseases – rabies, tetanus, West Nile virus, and Eastern and Western equine encephalomyelitis. 1,500 horses who have been adopted through The ASPCA’s Right Horse Adoption Partners will be vaccinated by a veterinarian with CORE EQ INNOVATOR^®, the first and only vaccine to protect horses against all five core diseases in one injection.

As a leader in the equine industry, Zoetis is always by the side of equine veterinarians and all those who care for horses,” said Nathan Voris, DVM, MBA, associate director, Equine Technical Services with Zoetis. “We are honored to support the careful re-homing of horses through the incredible work being done by the ASPCA’s Right Horse and are thrilled to provide them with the only vaccine that protects against all five core equine diseases.”

The ASPCA’s Right Horse hosts a collective of industry professionals, including Zoetis, as well as equine welfare organizations and advocates working together to reframe the conversation around equine adoption and improve the lives of horses in transition through a dialogue of kindness and respect. In collaboration with over 100 industry and adoption partners, the Initiative has launched innovative programming focused on shattering the stigma surrounding horses in transition.
