Mumbai, 15th October 2024: According to WHO, rabies is a viral, zoonotic, neglected tropical disease that is 100% preventable. While the disease infects mammals including cattle, cats and dogs are also highly vulnerable. An otherwise controllable disease is responsible for loss of lives, both animal and human, due to lack of awareness and preventive care.
Making its contribution in improving the health of cats and dogs and also reducing the human-animal conflict, Royal Canin, a pioneer of ‘Health through Nutrition’ is collaborating with NGO’s in Gurugram, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai for a month-long initiative to curb incidents of rabies in cats and dogs. Currently, in its fifth year, this drive is part of Royal Canin’s #actsforhealth initiative and aims to maximize the reach of preventive care at the right stage of life.
Satinder Singh, General Manager at Royal Canin India, shared his thoughts. “Vaccinations are a crucial aspect of preventive care in cats and dogs and are just as important as holistic nutrition for their health and well-being. By collaborating with our NGO partners, we aim to make this essential healthcare accessible to strays across the country. This initiative not only emphasises our mission of ‘Health through Nutrition’ but also reinforces our commitment to building a better world for pets through sustainable and community-focused efforts.”
Through its #ActForHealth initiative, Royal Canin is extending its impact to reach up to 15,000 cats and dogs
