Ep 41: Protecting Pets without Harming the Planet - The Environmental Impact of Small Animal Parasiticides
In this episode, Charles and Natasha dive into the environmental impact of small animal parasiticides, as it combines good patient care, client expectations and our wider responsibilities as vets.
Joining Natasha is Dr. Rosemary Perkins PhD, Practicing Companion Animal Vet and Research Associate at the University of Sussex, who gives a critical overview of which groups are most vulnerable to these impacts, such as small children.
Darragh O’Hanlon, aka ‘The Topical Vet’ and Veterinary Dermatologist at Nutgrove Veterinary Hospital, returns to the Vet Pod also, and provides Natasha with the best practices for controlling allergies in animals triggered by fleas, mainly through judicious use of medicines.
Natasha and Charles also cover the recent surge in CAO applications for Veterinary Medicine in Ireland, with a 52% increase in first preference and a 96% increase in having veterinary as a choice, overall.
