Gut Check: What's Going on in the World of Intestinal Parasites?

Course overview

Intestinal parasites, particularly roundworms and hookworms with their seasonal trends and increasing prevalence, pose a growing challenge to veterinary professionals. In addition, environmental contamination in parks and public spaces remains a significant risk factor for pets and their owners. However, regular parasite testing and clear client education can not only help combat these challenges but also build trust and strengthen practice growth. In this webinar, Dr. I. Craig Prior will review why advanced diagnostics like PCR testing are becoming essential for accurate detection and treatment, especially with the emergence of multidrug-resistant hookworms. He'll also discuss why consistent year-round prevention, routine fecal testing, and proactive client communication are critical for protecting both animal and public health.
