    1. Given the anticipated entry of new competitors in the dermatology space, particularly those with products carrying boxed warnings, what specific strategies is Zoetis implementing to defend market share for Apoquel and Cytopoint, and how might these strategies affect your promotional activities?

    2. With the growth of alternative channels like retail and home delivery contributing significantly to sales (alternative channels were up 34% year-on-year in Q3), how is Zoetis adapting its sales and marketing strategy to address the shift away from traditional veterinary clinic visits, and what impact do you expect this to have on your relationships with veterinarians?

    3. Considering that price contributed 6% to your 14% operational revenue growth in Q3 and that you anticipate the recent tailwinds from higher inflation to normalize, how do you plan to sustain your revenue growth as price-driven gains potentially decrease?

    4. The MFA divestiture is expected to impact your Q4 revenue growth by reflecting a reduction of U.S. and international sales; can you elaborate on the magnitude of this impact and discuss the strategies you have in place to mitigate any negative effects on your overall financial performance?

    5. You mentioned that headwinds in China have had approximately a 1% unfavorable impact on growth this year; could you provide more details on the specific challenges you're facing in the Chinese market and how you plan to address them to normalize growth in 2025?
