Kindred Biosciences joins AAEP Educational Partners Program
Kindred Biosciences, Inc., a publicly traded (NASDAQ: KIN), commercial-stage biopharma- ceutical company that develops therapeutics for companion animals and horses, has become the 11th equine health corporation in the AAEP’s Educational Partnership Program.
“KindredBio’s partnership with the AAEP brings together two organiza- tions that share a passion for improving equine wellness,” said Denise Bevers, co-founder and chief operating officer, KindredBio. “Our company is focused on addressing the numerous unmet medical needs that equine veterinarians encounter daily.”
KindredBio’s drug development pipeline is focused on cats, dogs and horses. Equine products in development include a product for control of pyrexia (fever) in horses, which is currently under review by the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. The company’s team also has experience supporting equine-specific products in the marketplace by partnering with equine veterinarians.
KindredBio has supported the AAEP and its educational opportunities as both an exhibitor and sponsor of key events at the association’s Annual Convention. At the upcoming convention in San Francisco, KindredBio will be the Health and Wellness Initiative sponsor, will underwrite a Sunrise Session, and will have a large presence in the exhibit hall.

Touch Point: Electronic examination wellness form available for use with clients
The examination is the cornerstone of the veterinarian-client-patient-rela- tionship. Our patient may not talk, but they can “speak” to us through a well-performed exam. When done properly, the examination transforms
information into insight and builds trust between the owner or trainer and veterinarian.
If we think of the examination solely as a clinical tool, however, we miss the opportunity to create stronger rela- tionships with our clients. Our clients value how we treat them just as much as they value our medical treatment of their horses.
The AAEP surveyed over 6,000 horse owners and trainers and found that relationship factors are as important to client satisfaction as your ability to provide veterinary care.
Your clients want you to: • Take your time with their horse during each exam or visit.
• Explain your diagnosis and treatment recommenda- tions in terminology they can understand.
• Demonstrate sincere compassion for the horse. • Value your client’s opinion.
As a practitioner, you can use the examination to deliver all of these important client satisfaction drivers, plus excellent veterinary care. The principles of a relationship- focused examination can be performed during any type of examination, in any type of equine practice.
New for you is a wellness examination form template that can be modified for your use with your clients. Visit “The Examination” section of
touch.aaep.org to download the electronic wellness template and other resources to help you provide a client-focused examination.
