An equine hospital known for treating Olympic-level sport horses has announced plans to expand its campus to include advanced imaging technology found only in a handful of facilities around the US. Meanwhile, the USDA has rolled out plans for an $8.5 million New World screwworm (NWS) facility in Texas and is exploring options for additional facilities to prevent the flesh-eating parasite from entering the US.

With increasing detections of NWS in Mexico, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is escalating its detection and containment efforts to prevent the spread of the parasite into the US. As part of a 5-part eradication plan, the USDA has announced an $8.5 million sterile fly dispersal facility to be constructed at the Moore Air Base in Mission, Texas. The facility, situated close to the border with Mexico, will be completed by the end of 2025.

According to Buck Wehrbein, president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, having a “sufficient supply of sterile flies” is the only way to push NWS away from the border.

 “To accomplish that, we need a sterile fly production facility of our own in the United States. Moore Air Base was previously part of our nation’s screwworm eradication effort in the 1960s and now this base will be the cornerstone of our renewed fight against this parasite,” Wehrbein said.

In addition to the Moore Air Base facility, the USDA is reviewing options for another sterile fly production facility in the US capable of generating 300 million sterile flies each week. The federal agency is also exploring the possibility of building modular sterile fly production facilities along with other technologies to provide faster construction and surge capacity in the future.

Moreover, the USDA is investing $21 million to help renovate a sterile fly production facility in Metapa, Mexico. The project, which is estimated to generate 60-100 million sterile flies weekly, is anticipated to be completed in 18 months.

Currently, 100 million sterile flies for dispersal in Mexico are being produced at the Panama-United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of Screwworm (COPEG) facility in Pacora, Panama. All facilities are built to raise large numbers of flies at every life stage and include spaces for insect rearing, sterilizing male flies with irradiation, and supporting functions like waste treatment and security.

Equine hospital treating Olympic-caliber horses expands

Fairfield Equine Associates, a nationally and internationally-media recognized equine hospital, is building an 8132 sq ft, single-story surgery and imaging facility on its 14-acre Newtown, Connecticut campus.

The facility will also house a 3-bedrom apartment for interns and visiting veterinarians, as well as a 74 ft x 150 ft covered riding ring. The hospital, which has treated horses from the US Equestrian Team and competitors in various Olympic games and other international events, also has a second location in Wellington, Florida.

“We have local roots with a global reach,” said Kimberly J. Harmon, VMD, owner and managing partner of Fairfield Equine, during a public hearing, according to 

 “We’re able to provide care for a donkey that’s a beloved pet in someone’s backyard all the way to helping a horse that was bound for the Paris Olympic Games and had a setback; our team reached out and got the latest cutting-edge treatment for that athlete, and got them jumping and competing in Paris.”

The hospital currently offers advanced imaging technology which includes a magnetic resonance imaging system, but the new facility will allow for a Qalibra computed tomography (CT) machine designed specifically for horses. Currently, similar CT systems are only found in Tufts University in Massachusetts and in the Mid‑Atlantic region.

 The new wing will also feature 15-foot-high ceilings to accommodate a trolley system for hoisting horses up as they are moved from a gurney to a table.

Construction is slated to start in Fall 2025.

Clinic center: USDA announces sterile fly facility at Texas base for screwworm eradication, and more

More than 100 human lives have reportedly been claimed by the flash flooding disaster in Texas that occurred in the early hours of July 4, 2025, along the Guadalupe River. While rescue and recovery efforts continue, veterinary health and animal care professionals are working to assist animals and support their families.

Flooding can be caused by thunderstorms with little to no warning. According to the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC), animals may be displaced and need temporary shelter, feeding, and medical care when there is an event that results in catastrophic loss of life and property, environmental damage, and financial constraints.

 (VET) deployed 6 members and 2 Texas A&M AgriLife Disaster Assessment & Recovery agents to Kerr County in support of Texas A&M Task Forces and other regional partners, according to a university news report. Three additional VET members later joined the team, as it works to provide veterinary care for canine search teams.

“Our hearts are with the families, loved ones, and communities affected by this tragedy,” Deb Zoran, DVM, PhD, MS, director of the VET, said in a university report.

 “This has been a particularly solemn mission; while all loss of life is tremendously sad, the loss of young children hits particularly hard for the entire community and state. We know Aggies everywhere are keeping the folks in this region, and in other flood-ravaged areas of Texas, in their thoughts and prayers.”

According to Texas A&M, local veterinary partners and community animal groups are handling residential animal care and reunification needs, while the VET is focused solely on caring for working dogs. “The community and our state partners are very supportive, and our team is staying strong during these challenging days,” Zoran said in the report.

The VET canine search teams have faced many challenges working along the Guadalupe River basin, including rough terrain, risks of snake bites and injury from debris, and continuing flash flood risks as well as long days searching over miles of terrain. However, working dogs play a vital role in searching for individuals who are still missing.

“These elite canine partners are critical to the mission, and our team is committed to helping them stay healthy, safe, and mission-ready,” Zoran said in the report.

 “We are honored to do our part in supporting these heroes, and we’re hopeful that the search missions will be able to help grieving families find closure.”

Many animal care organizations responding to the flooding disaster in Texas have been identified in local and national media outlets. They include animal rescue groups, veterinary clinics, and welfare organizations. The following are some examples:

Austin Pets Alive! is a nonprofit shelter that has received more than 300 animals displaced by flooding.

 The organization has a team in Kerrville, Texas, a heavily affected community, that is assisting local shelters in distress, providing medical care to affected animals and distributing supplies to human individuals, coordinating search and rescue efforts for animals, and working on the reunification of pets with their families.

 “We’ve been deploying [volunteers] all over the state to try to find any signs of life of pets and be able to make that connection back to owners, which is really important because people that have lost everything, their pets are maybe the last thing they’ve got” Ellen Jefferson, president and CEO, said in a live video on Facebook.

Wings of Rescue is a nonprofit organization that “flies pets from at-risk shelters and disaster areas to safe havens,” according to its’ Facebook page. Volunteers with the group are in Kerrville and other affected communities, assisting rescue and relief efforts in affected areas. Working in partnership with CUDDLEY, a fundraising and wish list platform, Wings of Rescue flew “several tons of critical supplies to the hardest-hit areas” on July 8, 2025. The organization also planned to fly pets being housed in affected shelters to Utah, rescuing them from potential euthanasia and providing opportunity for these animals to be reunited with family, while also creating room for more local pets to be rescued. “The devastation there is staggering. Shelters are overwhelmed, families are still searching for their beloved pets, and supplies are running dangerously low,” the organization reported in a live Facebook post.

Lindale Veterinary Clinic has been collecting various animal care supplies intended for displaced pets in the affected region. These items include food, crates, blankets, tarps, towels, and small bales of hay. Raul Johnson, DVM, of Lindale, is delivering the supplies and joining a team of veterinarians to provide care to animals on site. “As these flood waters recede, they are expecting a large influx of animals in 3 to 4 days’ time that may need lifesaving care for potential injuries,” Johnson told KLTV on July 7, 2025.

In the event of flooding, there are health concerns with standing water, contaminated floodwaters, and wet feed, according to the TAHC. Animals should be monitored for chemical burns, dermatitis, or hair loss that may be caused by toxic substances in flood waters. Furthermore, foot or hoof health issues may occur with livestock standing in water for an extended period of time, and animals may need booster vaccinations to prevent diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis as well as mosquito-borne diseases in horses.

The TAHC also notes that stress or disorientation in animals may be caused by environmental changes following a flooding situation. As a result, animals may express unusual aggression and should be approached with caution. The public is encouraged to contact a primary care veterinarian for assistance if a condition is suspected of being caused by flooding.

Fifth Annual Awards Honor Veterinary Professionals for Leadership, Compassion, and Lasting Impact

dvm360® Celebrates Winners of the 2025 Veterinary Heroes Awards at Fetch Kansas City

Roseman University announced earlier this summer that it has submitted a letter of intent to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE) to begin the planning process for a new veterinary school at its Henderson, Nevada campus.

 The university’s proposed College of Veterinary Medicine would become the first veterinary school in the state of Nevada.

Roseman, a nonprofit private institution accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, has campuses in Nevada and Utah offering programs in nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and medicine.

 If accredited by the AVMA COE, the proposed College of Veterinary Medicine would expand the university’s offerings in the health professions and create a local pathway for students in the state wishing to pursue veterinary medicine.

With the submission to the AVMA COE, Roseman will be able to proceed with its preliminary planning and development process, which includes consultation with veterinary professionals in the state for establishing clinical partnerships. The proposed 4-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree program will consist of a semi-distributive model with Roseman-based clinical rotation across equine, large animal, and companion animal medicine, according to the AVMA.

 Additionally, the program will offer off-campus rotations at partner sites throughout the area.

 The university has not yet announced a specific launch date for the program. 

According to the AVMA, Roseman joins almost a dozen other universities that are in different stages of seeking accreditation from the COE.

“Our goal is to create a veterinary program that is not only academically rigorous but also deeply mission-driven,” Katherine Fogelberg, DVM, PhD, MA, appointed founding dean of the veterinary college, said in the university news release.

 “We want to train veterinarians who are equipped to serve all communities—urban and rural, pets and livestock, locally and nationally.”

Fogelberg, an army veterinarian with more than 10 years of clinical experience in small animal general and emergency practice with work in zoo and wildlife medicine, earned her DVM degree from Texas A&M University and her PhD in science education from Texas Christian University. She is an editor and contributor of a recently published veterinary education textbook, is a founding member and past president of the Academy of Veterinary Educators, and is one of 32 esteemed educators chosen to spearhead the development of a worldwide veterinary educator certification process. In her prior role, Fogelberg was the director of the Center for Innovation in Veterinary Education and Technology and associate professor of veterinary medicine at Lincoln University.

In the program’s initial planning, Fogelberg will lead the design, planning, operation, and assessment of the proposed program. “Launching a veterinary college requires both a strong vision and deep engagement with the community it will serve,” Renee Coffman, PhD, president and cofounder of Roseman University, said in the release.

 “Dr Fogelberg brings the right combination of experience, insight, and passion to help Roseman build a veterinary program that responds to the growing needs of Nevada and the surrounding region.”

Gallant has raised $18 million in a Series B funding round, the animal health biotechnology company recently announced. The funding, according to Gallant, will help support the development and potential commercialization of its off-the-shelf stem cell therapies.

Gallant’s ready-to-use stem cell therapies mark the development of a “new category” in veterinary medicine, as described by the company.

 The platform uses mesenchymal stem cells derived from the uterus. These self-renewing cells have the ability to differentiate into other types of cells.

The therapies focus on addressing the root cause of some of the most prevalent diseases in cats and dogs, with the company’s first product for refractory feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) being on track to receive FDA conditional approval in early 2026. FCGS, a painful, highly inflammatory, immune-mediated oral mucosal disease, affects up to 26% of domestic cats.

 In at least 10% of cases, the disease can become life-threatening.

Gallant’s new therapy for FCGS may become the first FDA-labeled, allogeneic stem cell therapy for veterinary use. The product would not only provide new treatment options for feline patients facing FCGS, but would establish a regulatory pathway for future off-the-shelf stem cell therapies in pets.

“The FDA approval of the first human allogeneic stem cell therapy was a historic milestone, and we’re looking forward to delivering this breakthrough therapy for animal health,” Linda Black, DVM, PhD, CEO of Gallant, said in a news release.

“Gallant has made significant strides in a short time, advancing a new class of therapies grounded in science and built for scale,” Teymour Boutros-Ghali, managing partner at Bold Capital—a supporter of the Series B financing round, added.

 “As it moves through FDA review toward commercialization, we’re excited to stand behind a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in veterinary care.”

Additional products in this new line of therapies include treatments for canine and feline osteoarthritis, canine atopic dermatitis, and feline chronic kidney disease, all which will continue to be developed with the funding. The funding round was led by Digitalis Ventures, with NovaQuest Capital Management joining as a new investor and Hill Creek Partners continuing their support. 

A survey by Gallant of more than 800 veterinarians throughout the United States found that 56% of veterinarians are satisfied with current therapies for canine osteoarthritis, with most respondents agreeing that current treatment focus on managing symptoms instead of addressing the underlying disease.

 Only 8% of veterinarians surveyed showed satisfaction of current treatments for FCGS.

 According to Gallant, approximately half of participants indicated a strong interest in using regenerative medicine as a treatment for diseases.

“Regenerative medicine is entering its prime—we’ve seen it firsthand with the success of allogeneic stem cell therapies in human healthcare,” Brian Axe, partner at NovaQuest, said in the release.

 “Gallant is bringing that same caliber of science to animal health with off-the-shelf therapies for pets targeting the root cause of disease where current care falls short.”

Veterinary stem cell therapy advances toward FDA approval with $18M in funding

Petco Love is providing $100,000 toward the cost of cancer treatments for dogs and cats over 2 years as part of a long-standing partnership with the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York.

 This investment is in addition to the $100,000 in grant funding that Petco Love provided to the University of California-Davis (UC-Davis) School of Veterinary Medicine earlier this year in support of cancer care and research initiatives.

“Cancer in a pet can have a profound effect on a family,” Cheryl Balkman, DVM, DACVIM, oncology section chief at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals in Ithaca, said in a news release.

 “This investment from Petco Love enables our clients to seek treatment for their pets and lessens their financial stress in an already trying situation.”

A national nonprofit, Petco Love aims to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. It also helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4000 organizations across North America. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested nearly $421 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts and has had more than 7 million pets adopted.

Petco Love, in partnership with Blue Buffalo, has invested $750,000 in Cornell for pet cancer treatments since first partnering with the university in 2016. These funds have been used to help provide chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery to at least 276 families. The new $100,000 investment will support the Petco Love & Blue Buffalo Pet Cancer Treatment Support Fund, which is available to Cornell University Hospital for Animals clients who otherwise could not afford the cost of treating their pets with cancer.

“Cancer doesn’t just affect people—it takes the lives of too many beloved pets,” Susanne Kogut, JD, president of Petco Love, said in a news release

 “Together with Blue Buffalo, we’re empowering pet parents with education, resources, and hope to help pets fight and survive this disease.”

Since the launch of the Pet Cancer Awareness initiative in 2010, Petco Love and Blue Buffalo have together invested $21 million in pet cancer research and treatment, funding cutting-edge studies and helping thousands of pets receive the care they need. Petco Love supports 15 partner organizations and oncology universities by investing in pet cancer research and subsidizing treatment costs for pet owners in need.

Petco Love has granted UC-Davis a total of $750,000 in funds since 2016. The recent $100,000 grant received by UC-Davis is helping to fund patient treatment for cancer, early cancer detection in pets, and advancing research for cancer in domestic companion animals.

“These funds have been invaluable in helping clients who wish to pursue treatment for their pet’s cancer, but who don’t have the financial means to do so,” Kathrine Skorupski, DVM, professor of clinical medical oncology at UC Davis, said in a university report.

 “Cancer treatment consisting of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy can be expensive, and this grant helps reduce that source of stress for our clients. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide the best possible cancer care for clients with limited financial means.”

Additionally, the Veterinary Center for Clinical Trials at UC Davis conducts more than 50 research studies at any given moment, including numerous clinical trials focused on cancer, to advance animal health care. These studies aim to develop new, safe, and effective treatment options for companion animals.
