Nutramax

Nutramax Laboratories Veterinary Sciences, Inc., the maker of COSEQUIN joint health supplements, continues its commitment to helping animals globally and locally through its You Watch, We Pledge program.

For every view of its new "Love Your Pet, Trust Your Vet" video, "Hero's Best Friend," Cosequin will pledge $1* – up to $25,000 – to Valor Service Dogs, Inc., a non-profit organization that helps post-9/11 wounded veterans regain their independence, return to civilian life, and maintain successful partnerships through the training and placing of mobility assistance and PTSD service dogs.

The "Hero's Best Friend" video features U.S. military veteran Justin Lansford and his service dog, Gabe. In 2012, Lansford lost his leg during an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Lansford was paired with Gabe in 2013 and the two have been inseparable since. Gabe provides Justin with a level of independence that would otherwise be unattainable.

"Gabe goes with me, everywhere, everyday; he is always by my side," said Lansford. "He works hard for me every day, but more than that, he is my best friend."

The You Watch, We Pledge program is a part of COSEQUIN's continuing "Love Your Pet, Trust Your Vet" campaign. The campaign celebrates the love people have for their pets and the tremendous work of veterinarians around the world.

"Cosequin has supported working dog programs for many years," said Dr. Robert Devlin, Executive Director, Nutramax Laboratories Veterinary Sciences, Inc. "Through these organizations, we have learned just how vital these four-legged companions are to the individuals they care for, as well as our society. Through our Love Your Pet, Trust Your Vet campaign, we are able to spread the word even more about the importance of these hard-working animals."
