VETERINARY professionals and SQPs are invited to join leading parasite expert Dr Ian Wright for a free CPD-approved webinar exploring the growing importance of faecal testing in modern companion animal practice.
Hosted by rapid parasite diagnostics specialist Micron Agritech, the webinar, 'Not Just a Gut
Feeling: The Role of Faecal Testing in Cat and Dog Worm Control', will take place on June 25 at 7pm (BST).
It will provide practical insights into how routine faecal testing can support more targeted, evidence-based parasite control strategies.
As increasing attention is placed on responsible parasite management and reducing unnecessary treatments, veterinary teams are seeking ways to enhance diagnostic-led
decision making.
During the webinar, Dr Wright will examine the role that faecal testing can play in improving worm control protocols, client communication and clinical outcomes in both dogs and cats.
The session will cover:
The most common companion animal parasites encountered in practice
The role of faecal testing and the value it adds for veterinary teams and pet owners
The benefits and limitations of currently available diagnostic methods
Future developments in pet parasite testing
