Ceva launches parasite prevention guide for pet owners

Ceva Animal Health has announced the launch of a new booklet to help educate pet owners on parasite prevention.

The guide offers an overview of common parasites that can affect dogs and cats in the UK, as well as information on the ways that pets can become infested, how to tell if a pet is infected and the potential health problems that can ensue. 

It covers fleas, ticks and worms, while highlighting the importance of routine treatment to help prevent infestation and transmission of diseases. There is also a checklist to help pet owners and vets determine the parasites that pose the greatest threat to their pet.

The booklet has been launched in response to recent Ceva research indicating that many pet owners are confused by what parasites are being treated by their current anti-parasitic regime.

Rob McLintock, companion animal business unit manager at Ceva Animal Health, said: "The new booklet will provide owners with a comprehensive overview of both ectoparasites and endoparasites and facilitate discussion between clients and their vets to assess the best treatments on a case-by-case basis."

Ceva offers a wide range of antiparasitic agents, including Milbactor, Vectra 3D and Vectra Felis.
