Vetcelerator and Merck Animal Health Announce Strategic Partnership Clinics Gain Access to Leading Parasiticides and Biologics with Built-In Marketing Support
August 20th, 2025 — Vetcelerator, the leading veterinary marketing and group purchasing platform, is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Merck Animal Health, a global leader dedicated to advancing animal health through innovative medicines, vaccines, and services that improve the lives of animals and the people who care for them. This partnership gives Vetcelerator members access to special programs inside Merck Animal Health’s trusted and innovative parasiticide and biologic product portfolio, in order to deliver top-tier veterinary patient care.
This partnership is a strategic advantage. It gives independent clinics direct access to essential products at special pricing while creating new growth opportunities through coordinated marketing support.
Merck Animal Health, along with select membership clinics, will now have access to Vetcelerator’s proprietary media platform, Vetcelerator Socials, to promote its products cooperatively via localized social media campaigns. These professionally developed campaigns are customized, brand-aligned, and distributed directly to pet parents, giving Merck Animal Health targeted reach and clinics a measurable impact.

"Working with Merck Animal Health has always been a strong fit. This next phase gives our member clinics real advantages. Merck Animal Health brings quality, we bring the platform, and together, we deliver value where it counts."
Drew Bartholomew, President of Vetcelerator
Vetcelerator’s partnership with Merck Animal Health adds value in two directions: clinics get immediate access to critical products, and Merck Animal Health gains a credible, scalable way to deliver messaging straight to the consumer through their most trusted source, local veterinarians.
“We are committed to supporting veterinary professionals with innovative products and solutions that enhance animal care. Partnering with Vetcelerator allows us to extend that commitment by providing independent clinics with valuable access and marketing resources to better serve their patients and communities,”
Kim Hutchinson, Director of companion animal strategic accounts for Merck Animal Health.
The partnership is now live and available to all Vetcelerator member clinics.
