Heska develops new allergy product

LOVELAND – Heska Corp. announced Wednesday the expansion of its allergy therapy line with a product aimed at treating animals with various types of allergies.

In order to develop the product, Heska leveraged intellectual property developed by Dr. Mary Morris & Associates, located in La Crosse, Wis. The advance will support Heska’s production of allergy treatments delivered under the tongue of an animal.

It is estimated that between 10 and 15 percent of dogs are affected by allergies, according to Michael McGinley, president and CEO of Heska.

In preparation for Republic Services becoming the primary provider of residential recycling, yard trimmings, and trash, residents should now select the best cart size and service schedule for their household needs.

“This expanded commitment to our allergy franchise is consistent with our strategy of offering valuable products in important areas of veterinary medicine,” McGinley said. Because the new treatment can be administered under an animal’s tongue, it improves the likelihood of pet owner compliance, he said.
