Parasites, patients and the planet: Do we really have to choose?
What does responsible parasiticide use look like in day-to-day veterinary practice? Join MSD Animal Health for a credible, vet-led panel discussion exploring how veterinary professionals can balance effective parasite control, patient welfare and environmental considerations when making prescribing decisions.
Building on insights from a recent MSD Animal Health and Vet Times roundtable, this session moves beyond broad principles to provide practical guidance for clinical teams.
Panel members will discuss the key factors that should inform parasite treatment recommendations, including individual patient risk, lifestyle, owner expectations, and wider environmental concerns.
Attendees will gain insights into the questions to ask, the conversations to have with pet owners and the decision-making processes that support responsible prescribing. The session aims to equip veterinary professionals with greater confidence in delivering parasite management plans that are tailored to individual needs.
Attendees should leave the panel with more understanding around:
- Moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to parasite prevention
- Starting the conversation with pet owners about parasite control before they arrive in the consult room
- Navigating owner’s varying levels of understanding about the environmental impact of parasiticides
