Putney Vet

Portland, ME—June 15, 2011—Dr. Nancy Zimmerman, director of professional marketing for Putney, Inc., a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and sale of affordable, generic prescription medicines for pets, will open the Health & Wellness for Companion Animals 2011 conference with an analysis of current research, trends, and opportunities in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. Her lead-off session, entitled “Opportunities Ahead: What’s Next for Companion Animal Veterinary Pharmaceuticals,” will reveal how pharmaceutical companies can help companion animal veterinarians strengthen their practices and improve patient care. Zimmerman’s early career as a veterinarian provides her with professional insight about the roles and responsibilities of veterinary pharmaceutical companies. Veterinary practices have been impacted by a soft economy and Zimmerman believes veterinary pharmaceutical companies should partner with veterinarians to create their product development roadmap. “By developing the products that pets need most, pharmaceutical companies can increase the quality of pet care while strengthening the pet healthcare industry,” says Zimmerman. The Health & Wellness for Companion Animals conference will be held at the Renaissance Chicago O’Hare Suites Hotel on June 22-24, 2011. Registration is available at www.petindustryadvisory.com
