Spring has sprung (well apparently it has), are you aware of the flowers that could pose a risk to your pet?
As of 12th January, the RCVS and VMD have enforced new legislation with regards to the prescribing of flea and worming preventatives. The new legislation requires that a physical examination is carried out by a vet at the time of prescribing flea and worming preventatives. The cost for the examination is £35.50, or free if using the six month health check on the Pet Care Plan or incorporating the exam with your pets vaccinations/upcoming appointments.
The examination covers the pet for a year, providing that the product is not changed in that time. If you wished to change the treatment your pet is on you would need to see a vet for the above examination.
These changes have been implemented by The Royal College Of Veterinary Surgeons to ensure drugs are used responsibly, to reduce resistance and any negative impact on the environment.
