Explore the rising threat of ticks to pets and humans, and discover effective prevention strategies with Credelio Quattro (lotilaner, moxidectin, praziquantel, and pyrantel chewable tablets).

Because tick-borne diseases pose a danger to patients, understanding the species from which they originate can help equip health care providers and clinics to protect their patients.

How serious of a threat is resistance to clients and patients?

From saliva to hunting strategies, ticks use a range of tactics that affect how quickly they can spread disease.

With small companion animal parasite resistance being an increasing fear, how can professionals tell the difference between resistance and reinfection?

Jeba Jesudoss Chelladurai, PhD, BVSc, MS, DACVM (Parasitology; Immunology), emphasizes the importance of individual case assessments for anthelmintic resistance, particularly in canine hookworms.

Debunk these common heartworm disease misconceptions with Peter C. Hann, DVM

Understanding how the spectrum of care approach puts the needs of the pet owner and pet at the forefront, supporting a more holistic approach of parasite protection compliance.

With CAPC’s county-level forecasting, veterinary teams can tailor their conversations, helping pet owners see the risks in their own backyards—and take action.

Recent research suggests that Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus may also trigger alpha-gal syndrome, broadening the geographic risk for this potentially life-threatening meat allergy.
