Zoetis launches equine quality of life survey
Zoetis UK has called on horse owners to complete a short online survey about their horse's behaviours.
The survey comes as the company collaborates with VetMetrica to develop a tool to measure health-related quality of life in horses. The tool is expected to be particularly useful for horses living with chronic conditions, such as arthritis or laminitis.
