People with a passion
for animals

The team at American Regent Animal Health brings their expertise and dedication to their jobs each day, but they also bring their love of animals. Our team is made up of veterinarians, horse owners and pet parents who understand the importance of the products we make.

“It’s very rewarding to focus on developing and delivering FDA-Approved products that make a difference in the everyday health of animals.” Joel Steckler, Vice President & General Manager
"Providing animals with the highest quality of care throughout their lives takes teamwork. Veterinarians serve both large and small animals and are there from the first visits to the difficult decisions around managing chronic diseases and maintaining quality of life. My goal every day is to make this team as strong as possible through a commitment to providing expertise and support for veterinarians treating animals, as well as continuously monitoring the safety and efficacy of our animal health products.” Avi Blake DVM, Sr. Manager, Veterinary Technical Services
“I’m a devoted animal lover, so having the opportunity to work with veterinary clinics and market a product that helps dogs is a dream to me — and Harry. He’s the dog I rescued when I volunteered regularly at PAWS in Chicago.” Bethany Dudley, Territory Manager, Canine
“I never thought the focus of my Texas A&M University master’s thesis on age-related effects of inflammation and cartilage metabolism in horses would play such a vital role in my career. That marked the beginning of my fascination with joint health and osteoarthritis (OA). Now, working on the American Regent Animal Health canine team, I’m able to utilize the knowledge and skills I’ve acquired and make a difference that matters by helping dogs with OA.” Meredith Kahn, Territory Manager, Canine
“I have the joy of talking with veterinarians and their team members each day, answering their questions about our products and ensuring they have what they need to care for animals. Their passion for doing what’s best for their patients continually restores my own.” Bari Tumolo Sr. Customer Service Rep., Commercial Operations

“There is no better life journey than being a part of the equine profession. The owners, the riders, the trainers, the veterinarians, the instructors…they all share an uncompromising commitment to the well- being of horses. And a true love for animals they love and care for. It’s an honor to work beside them.” Allyn Mann, Director of Strategic Partnerships

“When I tell people that I work for a company that makes products to support the health of dogs and horses, the reaction is usually the same – lucky you! I’ve made this my daily mantra as I work each day because it’s really true. I am lucky to be a part of making a difference for the animals in our lives.” Claudia Steinhaus, Senior Marketing Manager

“I have been around animals and the western lifestyle my whole life. The opportunity to take all my years of experience in the pharmaceutical arena and apply it to the Equine division is the best experience I could have ever dreamed! Seeing firsthand the difference our products make in the quality of animal’s lives, including my own, is what makes me passionate about sharing my story and experiences to all.” Matt Stallsmith, Territory Manager, Equine

Adequan® i.m. Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG)

INDICATIONS
Adequan® i.m. is recommended for the intramuscular treatment of non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction and associated lameness of the carpal and hock joints in horses.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
There are no known contraindications to the use of intramuscular Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan. Studies have not been conducted to establish safety in breeding horses. WARNING: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. For full prescribing information, click here.


BetaVet® (betamethasone sodium phosphate and betamethasone acetate injectable suspension)
For Intra-articular (I.A.) use in Horses.

INDICATIONS
BetaVet® is indicated for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in horses.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS: BetaVet® is contraindicated in horses with hypersensitivity to betamethasone. Intra-articular injection of corticosteroids for local effect is contraindicated in the presence of septic arthritis. WARNINGS: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that corticosteroids administered orally or parenterally to animals may induce the first stage of parturition when administered during the last trimester of pregnancy and may precipitate premature parturition followed by dystocia, fetal death, retained placenta, and metritis. Additionally, corticosteroids administered to dogs, rabbits and rodents during pregnancy have resulted congenital anomalies. Before use of corticosteroids in pregnant animals, the possible benefits should be weighed against potential hazards. Human Warnings: Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. PRECAUTIONS: Corticosteroids, including BetaVet®, administered intra-articularly are systemically absorbed. Do not use in horses with acute infections. Acute moderate to severe exacerbation of pain, further loss of joint motion, fever, or malaise within several days following intra-articular injection may indicate a septic process. Because of the anti-inflammatory action of corticosteroids, signs of infection in the treated joint may be masked. Due to the potential for exacerbation of clinical signs of laminitis, glucocorticoids should be used with caution in horses with a history of laminitis, or horses otherwise at a higher risk for laminitis. Use with caution in horses with chronic nephritis, equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), and congestive heart failure. Concurrent use of other anti-inflammatory drugs should be approached with caution. Consider appropriate wash out times prior to administering additional NSAIDs or corticosteroids. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Adverse reactions reported during a field study of 239 horses of various breeds which had been administered either BetaVet® (n=119) or a saline control (n=120) at five percent (5%) and above were: acute joint effusion and/or local injection site swelling (within 2 days of injection), 15% BetaVet® and 13% saline control; increased lameness (within the first 5 days), 6.7% BetaVet® and 8.3% saline control; loose stool, 5.9% BetaVet®and 8.3% saline control; increased heat in joint, 2.5% BetaVet® and 5% saline control; and depression, 5.9% BetaVet® and 1.6% saline control. SHAKE WELL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USE. For additional safety information, please see full prescribing information. CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.


Adequan® Canine Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG)

INDICATIONS
Adequan® Canine is recommended for intramuscular injection for the control of signs associated with non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic arthritis of canine synovial joints.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Adequan® Canine should not be used in dogs who are hypersensitive to polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG) or who have a known or suspected bleeding disorder. It should be used with caution in dogs with renal or hepatic impairment. Adverse reactions in clinical studies (transient pain at injection site, transient diarrhea, and abnormal bleeding) were mild and self-limiting. In post approval experience, death has been reported in some cases; vomiting, anorexia, depression/lethargy and diarrhea have also been reported. The safe use of PSGAG in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. For additional safety information, please see full prescribing information.
