Best Practice Guidelines for the Responsible Use of Parasite Control in Pets
EPRUMA partners recognise that climate change has caused increasing changes in distribution and infestation rates, and overall survival of parasites, as well as transmission rates of vector-borne diseases. In order to maintain safe, effective and affordable parasite treatment and control options for all animal owners, management strategies must be specifically adapted to the individual animal needs. As the misuse of parasite protection products may lead to development of resistance, EPRUMA partners promote responsible use of veterinary parasite protection and control products in companion animals.News and events
