Merial Donates Certifect to Police and Service Dogs

We are pleased to report that Merial has made a generous donation of their new flea and tick preventative drug, Certifect, to the police and service dogs we see at Niles Animal Hospital.

Since 1999, we have been providing veterinary care for the Federal dogs who work out at O'Hare, Midway, mass transit and for the TSA. It is indeed a privilege and honor for us to be the veterinarians for these dogs and their officers who are dedicated to protecting all of us. In a benevolent act to help defray the cost of the care for these dogs, Merial has provided us with Certifect so that these dogs can be protected against fleas and ticks. We sincerely appreciate this kind gesture.

Next time you are at the airport or taking mass transit and see these dogs and their officers, know that they are a very effective line of defense in keeping us safe from danger. Working with these officers and their dogs through the years, I am so impressed by the quality of these dogs and the officers who handle them. We can rest easy knowing these officers and their dogs are ever vigilant, protecting us. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for what they do and in this case, Merial put their money where their mouth is, which is well appreciated by all.
