PARASITE RISKS – DOGS IN EUROPE

If you are taking your dogs abroad to Europe this summer then you need to be aware of the parasite risks for your dogs.

The following link has information which is a useful guide to the parasite risks for your dog.  However, you should, of course, always consult with your own vet for advice and the necessary treatment required well in advance of travel.

This link was sourced from the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA)  and links to the ESCCAP (European Scientific Council Companion Animal Parasites) site which shows the parasite risks.

You must also check for other health requirements (such as rabies) and the essential legal requirements for taking your dog abroad – both for access into your chosen destination and for the return journey.

Wishing you a safe and healthy journey with your dogs.
