Pets, Parasites, and Social Media, Oh My!
When it comes to preventive care and protecting pets from parasites, parasite control products and annual screening tests go hand-in-hand. But if clients don't understand how easily their pets can be exposed, it may be challenging to gain compliance with your testing and preventive protocols.
Why is now the time to talk to pet owners about parasites? Ticks are on the move and carrying disease with them. In addition, a recent national dog park study revealed the high risk of exposure to intestinal parasites.
