Dr. Jellison and Dr. Polster would like to share this important information regarding Librela®.

2025-January-08

We wanted to share an update about Librela® (bedinvetmab injection). On Monday, December 16, the FDA issued an update on the CVM website, which includes a summary and a standard agency review of adverse events reported since Librela’s U.S. launch.

Zoetis remains confident in the safety and efficacy profile of Librela, and how it is helping dogs experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Veterinarian satisfaction with the product remains high and reflects their experience treating patients with Librela.

Since March the FDA has provided three Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reports with updates on Librela’s reported adverse events in the U.S.2 These updates are provided based on third-party requests that are made to the agency, but ultimately provide public information on what data is being reported. The information shared by the FDA is consistent with what we’ve seen in our pharmacovigilance data and what has been shared previously by the FDA in FOIA reports. As always, we ask for your help in reporting all adverse events to Zoetis as there are regulatory obligations to report to the FDA.

To build upon the information in the FDA update, we’d like to share the following directly with you:

- Librela has undergone robust testing and has been approved as safe and effective for controlling osteoarthritis pain in dogs.

- Within the FDA Standard Adverse Event Review, there is a more detailed analysis which gives context to Librela and all of the cases reported in dogs including age distribution, and a comparison of adverse events reported with use of other OA related products.

- Zoetis is in discussions with the FDA on label updates and expects it will reflect post approval adverse event reporting and be similar to labels in other markets.

- With more than 21 million doses distributed globally, no individual adverse event sign is reported at a rate higher than rare, as defined by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as

🎄🐾 Holiday Tips for Pet Parents: How to Make Visitors Stress-Free for Your Pets 🐾🎄

The holidays are here, and that means more guests, noise, and excitement in the house! While we all love celebrating with family and friends, it can be a bit overwhelming for our furry companions. Here are some tips to keep your pets calm and comfortable while still enjoying the holiday cheer:

Create a Safe Space 🏡: Set up a quiet area where your pet can retreat if things get too hectic. A cozy crate, a separate room, or their favorite blanket can offer a retreat when they need some alone time.

Give Extra TLC ❤️: With the hustle and bustle, your pet may feel neglected. Be sure to take time for extra snuggles, playtime, and walks to keep their routine as normal as possible.

Prepare for Visitors 👥: If your pet gets nervous around strangers, consider keeping them on a leash or in a quiet area when guests arrive. Slowly introduce them to visitors in a calm and controlled manner.

Don’t Forget the Basics 🦴: Keep your pet’s essentials—food, water, toys, and meds—stocked up so you don’t run into any last-minute shortages during the holiday madness.

Watch Out for Holiday Hazards 🎉: Ensure that festive treats (chocolate, alcohol, etc.) and decorations (strings, tinsel, ornaments) are out of reach! You don’t want your pet getting into anything dangerous.

Keep Calm 🧘‍♀️: Pets can sense your emotions! Stay calm, and they'll be more likely to stay relaxed too.

By taking a few precautions, you can enjoy a safe, festive season with all of your loved ones, including your furry family members! 🎅🐾

Playtime is essential for keeping your cat mentally and physically stimulated! 🐱 Here are a few tips to make the most of it:

Interactive toys: Use wand toys and laser pointers to mimic hunting behavior and keep your cat engaged.

Rotate toys: Keep things fresh by rotating toys to maintain your cat's interest.

Hide and seek: Hide toys around the house for your cat to discover and pounce on.

Play is not only fun but helps prevent boredom and behavior problems! 🎉 Have cute videos of your pets playing? We’d love to see them, comment them on this post!

🎄🐾 Happy Holidays from For Paws! 🐾🎄

The holidays are a magical time, but they can also pose hidden dangers for our furry friends. Here are some important tips to keep your pets safe while decorating:

Have a live tree? Fragile glass ornaments, tinsel, and small decorations can be tempting for curious paws and mouths. Hang those higher up on the tree and avoid anything small enough to swallow. Don’t add water preservatives when you’re watering your tree.

Decorating with plants? Avoid poinsettias, mistletoe, lilies, and holly as they can be harmful to pets.

Using candles? If you’re using real candles, keep them out of reach and don’t leave them unattended.

Displaying festive lights? Pets might chew on cords, so cover or tape them down, and be cautious with lights that might overheat. Always unplug when not in use.

Be mindful of small items like ribbons, bows, and ornaments that could be choking hazards. And remember, some pets love to "help" with a tree, so make sure it's well-secured!

The holidays are for everyone—including your pets! With a little planning, you can ensure a safe and festive season for all. 🩷💛
