Navigating the challenges of pet diabetes just got a bit easier thanks to a collaborative effort from Merck Animal Health, Purina, and Zoetis. These industry giants have teamed up to support veterinary clinics through the Diabetes PetCare Alliance, a program designed to enhance the care of pets diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Now in its impressive 11th year, the Diabetes PetCare Alliance invites veterinary practices to join their cause and access invaluable resources. By enrolling in this program, clinics can provide pet owners with essential diabetes education and management tools at no cost. Registration is open online from September 1 to October 31, 2025, ensuring that clinics are well-prepared for the influx of cases that typically coincide with National Pet Diabetes Month in November.
For clients whose pets are diagnosed with diabetes between November 1 and December 31, 2025, the alliance offers a complimentary starter diabetes management kit. This kit is thoughtfully assembled to include a glucose monitoring system, a specialized prescription diet bag, and a vial of porcine insulin zinc suspension—all courtesy of the partnering companies.
This initiative not only underscores the commitment of Merck Animal Health, Purina, and Zoetis to animal welfare but also equips pet owners with the tools necessary for effective diabetes management. For further details on how to participate or to learn more about the resources available, veterinary practices and pet owners are encouraged to visit the PetDiabetesMonth website. This partnership exemplifies how collaboration in the veterinary industry can lead to better health outcomes for pets with diabetes.
