Our Priorities
ACC&D's priorities for non-surgical products for pet population control:
- Approved by regulatory agencies as safe (for animals and for the humans
administering) and effective. - Permanent, though there may be some opportunity for long-term (3+ years) products.
- Deliverable in a single injection or treatment.
- Products available for effective use in both male and female, dogs and cats.
- Documented effects on behavior and health.
- Can be provided at affordable rates for use in indigent or low-income client populations.
