A MESSAGE FROM THE NAVC PRESIDENT I’m very proud to be a part of the NAVC team — a dedicated group that’s extremely innovative and resolute in supporting the success of every single member of the veterinary medical team. The NAVC Conference 2015 is our leading example of this commitment. As the first Conference of the year, we strive to LEAD THE WAY on so many levels for you. Working with our Industry Partners (Exhibitors and Sponsors), our goal is to establish your momentum for a year of personal and practice growth in ways no other Conference can offer you. Here, you’ll find the industry’s largest selection of CE courses, (1,200+ credit hours) presented by more than 350 leading speakers plus the largest number of exhibits (600+) presenting leading advancements for better care. In addition, the NAVC represents our shifting industry demographics this year with a predominantly female Board of Directors. This has got to be the first for any major veterinary organization worldwide. We’re also LEADING THE WAY with NAVC VetFolio, our revolutionary online CE platform available to the entire healthcare team year-round. This is becoming the daily go-to resource for veterinary professionals who want to access exceptional courses, industry-leading journals like Compendium and Veterinary Technician, thousands of Conference Proceedings and much more. At the NAVC Conference 2015, we’ll be celebrating VetFolio’s oneyear anniversary with a special treat for its thousands of subscribers. And that’s just for starters. Join me at the Opening Ceremony to hear more ways the NAVC is working to help you LEAD THE WAY to better care every day. To your success,

Charlotte Lacroix, DVM, JD President 2014 - 2015

A MESSAGE FROM THE NAVC CEO Welcome to the North American Veterinary Community and our flagship annual event, the NAVC Conference 2015. As we prepare another extraordinary experience, we’d like to update you on what’s been happening since our last Conference. In the past several months, the NAVC has seen unprecedented growth in scope and offerings for all veterinary professionals. This is mainly the result of strategic partnerships we’ve formed with industry allies who share our mission of supporting a higher standard of veterinary care across the world. With Vetlearn, NAVTA, Vetstream, our many Industry Partners and other organizations on board, we’ve been taking a fresh look at our core beliefs, pinpointing ways to bring learning to an entirely new and exciting level for you. This includes: • Offering cutting-edge veterinary continuing education programs that empower Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians, Practice Managers and Students with the skills they need throughout their careers • Developing forums for communication and connection that fuel the spread of knowledge and innovation within our profession, elevating the quality of animal medical care throughout the world • Uniting the global veterinary community in person and online with the industry’s broadest access to advanced knowledge, tools and conversations In addition, we’ve renewed our commitment to the following NAVC Core Values that drive the work we collectively do for you: Commitment: Be passionate about the NAVC and the veterinary profession. Excellence: Strive to exceed our customers’ expectations. Innovation: Embrace change and drive innovation. Stewardship: Be outstanding advocates of our brands, resources and community. Communication: Communicate openly and honestly to build enduring relationships. Authenticity: Be unique, memorable, personable and humble. Every day, we ask ourselves — “As your industry association, are we doing everything we can to help you advance veterinary medicine through your skills and career growth?” As you browse through our NAVC Conference 2015 Preliminary Program Guide, please know that this is just a small sample of the many programs and events we’ll offer you next January. We’re planning a number of big surprises, including a celebration of VetFolio’s one-year anniversary. Thank you for being a valued part of this vibrant community! We look forward to seeing you at the NAVC Conference 2015. If there’s anything we can do to help make this event an even better experience for you, I welcome your input at TBohn@NAVC.com.

CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Description: NEXGARD™ (afoxolaner) is available in four sizes of beef-flavored, soft chewables for oral administration to dogs and puppies according to their weight. Each chewable is formulated to provide a minimum afoxolaner dosage of 1.14 mg/lb (2.5 mg/kg). Afoxolaner has the chemical composition 1-Naphthalenecarboxamide, 4-[5- [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-4, 5-dihydro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-isoxazolyl]-N-[2-oxo-2-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amino]ethyl. Indications: NEXGARD kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis), and the treatment and control of Black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis), American Dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), and Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum) infestations in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older, weighing 4 pounds of body weight or greater, for one month. Dosage and Administration: NEXGARD is given orally once a month, at the minimum dosage of 1.14 mg/lb (2.5 mg/kg). Dosing Schedule: Body Afoxolaner Per Chewables Weight Chewable (mg) Administered 4.0 to 10.0 lbs. 11.3 One 10.1 to 24.0 lbs. 28.3 One 24.1 to 60.0 lbs. 68 One 60.1 to 121.0 lbs. 136 One Over 121.0 lbs. Administer the appropriate combination of chewables NEXGARD can be administered with or without food. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost or if vomiting occurs within two hours of administration, redose with another full dose. If a dose is missed, administer NEXGARD and resume a monthly dosing schedule. Flea Treatment and Prevention: Treatment with NEXGARD may begin at any time of the year. In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with NEXGARD should continue the entire year without interruption. To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is important to treat all animals within a household with an approved flea control product. Tick Treatment and Control: Treatment with NEXGARD may begin at any time of the year (see Effectiveness). Contraindications: There are no known contraindications for the use of NEXGARD. Warnings: Not for use in humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a physician immediately. Precautions: The safe use of NEXGARD in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures (see Adverse Reactions). Adverse Reactions: In a well-controlled US field study, which included a total of 333 households and 615 treated dogs (415 administered afoxolaner; 200 administered active control), no serious adverse reactions were observed with NEXGARD. Over the 90-day study period, all observations of potential adverse reactions were recorded. The most frequent reactions reported at an incidence of > 1% within any of the three months of observations are presented in the following table. The most frequently reported adverse reaction was vomiting. The occurrence of vomiting was generally self-limiting and of short duration and tended to decrease with subsequent doses in both groups. Five treated dogs experienced anorexia during the study, and two of those dogs experienced anorexia with the first dose but not subsequent doses. Table 1: Dogs With Adverse Reactions.

Number of dogs in the afoxolaner treatment group with the identified abnormality. 2 Number of dogs in the control group with the identified abnormality. In the US field study, one dog with a history of seizures experienced a seizure on the same day after receiving the first dose and on the same day after receiving the second dose of NEXGARD. This dog experienced a third seizure one week after receiving the third dose. The dog remained enrolled and completed the study. Another dog with a history of seizures had a seizure 19 days after the third dose of NEXGARD. The dog remained enrolled and completed the study. A third dog with a history of seizures received NEXGARD and experienced no seizures throughout the study. To report suspected adverse events, for technical assistance or to obtain a copy of the MSDS, contact Merial at 1-888-6374251 or www.merial.com/nexgard. For additional information about adverse drug experience reporting for animal drugs, contact FDA at 1-888-FDA-VETS or online at http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth. Mode of Action: Afoxolaner is a member of the isoxazoline family, shown to bind at a binding site to inhibit insect and acarine ligand-gated chloride channels, in particular those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby blocking preand post-synaptic transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes. Prolonged afoxolaner-induced hyperexcitation results in uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system and death of insects and acarines. The selective toxicity of afoxolaner between insects and acarines and mammals may be inferred by the differential sensitivity of the insects and acarines’ GABA receptors versus mammalian GABA receptors. Effectiveness: In a well-controlled laboratory study, NEXGARD began to kill fleas four hours after initial administration and demonstrated >99% effectiveness at eight hours. In a separate well-controlled laboratory study, NEXGARD demonstrated 100% effectiveness against adult fleas 24 hours post-infestation for 35 days, and was ≥ 93% effective at 12 hours post-infestation through Day 21, and on Day 35. On Day 28, NEXGARD was 81.1% effective 12 hours post-infestation. Dogs in both the treated and control groups that were infested with fleas on Day -1 generated flea eggs at 12- and 24-hours post-treatment (0-11 eggs and 1-17 eggs in the NEXGARD treated dogs, and 4-90 eggs and 0-118 eggs in the control dogs, at 12- and 24-hours, respectively). At subsequent evaluations post-infestation, fleas from dogs in the treated group were essentially unable to produce any eggs (0-1 eggs) while fleas from dogs in the control group continued to produce eggs (1-141 eggs). In a 90-day US field study conducted in households with existing flea infestations of varying severity, the effectiveness of NEXGARD against fleas on the Day 30, 60 and 90 visits compared with baseline was 98.0%, 99.7%, and 99.9%, respectively. Collectively, the data from the three studies (two laboratory and one field) demonstrate that NEXGARD kills fleas before they can lay eggs, thus preventing subsequent flea infestations after the start of treatment of existing flea infestations. In well-controlled laboratory studies, NEXGARD demonstrated >94% effectiveness against Dermacentor variabilis and Ixodes scapularis, 48 hours post-infestation, and against Amblyomma americanum 72 hours post-infestation, for 30 days. Animal Safety: In a margin of safety study, NEXGARD was administered orally to 8- to 9-week-old Beagle puppies at 1, 3, and 5 times the maximum exposure dose (6.3 mg/kg) for three treatments every 28 days, followed by three treatments every 14 days, for a total of six treatments. Dogs in the control group were sham-dosed. There were no clinically-relevant effects related to treatment on physical examination, body weight, food consumption, clinical pathology (hematology, clinical chemistries, or coagulation tests), gross pathology, histopathology or organ weights. Vomiting occurred throughout the study, with a similar incidence in the treated and control groups, including one dog in the 5x group that vomited four hours after treatment. In a well-controlled field study, NEXGARD was used concomitantly with other medications, such as vaccines, anthelmintics, antibiotics (including topicals), steroids, NSAIDS, anesthetics, and antihistamines. No adverse reactions were observed from the concomitant use of NEXGARD with other medications. Storage Information: Store at or below 30°C (86°F) with excursions permitted up to 40°C (104°F). How Supplied: NEXGARD is available in four sizes of beef-flavored soft chewables: 11.3, 28.3, 68 or 136 mg afoxolaner. Each chewable size is available in color-coded packages of 1, 3 or 6 beef-flavored chewables. 1
