AnimalhealthEurope's membership covers 90% of the European market for veterinary products.”

“We are committed to engaging with the EU institutions, stakeholders including veterinarians, farmers, pet owners, as well as the media and other partners to ensure a working relationship based on mutual trust and respect by: increasing awareness of the value animal health brings to society in terms of farm and companion animals, sustainable agriculture, safe food and diseases which can impact public health; and promoting a predictable, harmonised, science-based and innovative market place for quality animal medicines.”
