Protection from the myriad parasites is both a big responsibility AND a big opportunity. Regular deworming, appropriate parasiticides, and other preventative recommendations are a cornerstone of patient health and the health & safety of your patient’s family. 

In 2009, Health Canada reported 144 cases of Lyme disease in humans; preliminary numbers for 2023 show at least 2,544 cases. Although the main tick borne disease of concern in Canada is Lyme, other diseases are becoming increasingly common including Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis. All of these can potentially impact your patients and their human families.

With ticks questing for a blood meal any day the temperatures reach +4C; every season is tick season! Of course, ticks are just one of the pesky parasites that threaten your patients. Risks and protocols differ across Canada, but regular deworming and heartworm prevention are part of most clinic recommendations.

Staring at a stack of parasitology reminders can feel daunting. Your team knows the importance of ensuring their patients receive appropriate testing and go home with the ideal prevention protocol, but it can be difficult to get to all of your clients AND handle everything else in a busy practice.
