Strategies to limit parasitic disease rely on a combination of practical control measures and preventative treatments. A risk based approach to the use of preventative products is vital to safeguard animal and human health, while ensuring over treatment does not take place and it allows bespoke advice to be formulated based on regional risk, lifestyle of the pet and future travel plans.

Nurses can play a vital role in collection of the information required to formulate these parasite control plans and are well placed at the front of client care to run preventative healthcare clinics but with an ever-increasing range of products available it can be hard to know what to choose and when in order to ensure client’s specific requirements are met.

This learning series with Ian Wright provides vet nurses with the training needed to consider the parasite control requirements for cats and dogs and shows the role they can have in helping formulate effective parasite prevention for them. Real life cases are used, to formulate parasite control plans and provide confidence to implement in practice.
