Keys to preventing zoonoses

Making prevention of zoonotic diseases a priority is of the utmost importance. The extra attention we give to educating the client on zoonotic diseases protects the pet and their household members. It can also save the client money and can win loyal clients for your business.

By stressing zoonotic protection measures for veterinary staff, practices maintain good relationships with their indispensable technical teams while also sparing themselves liability problems and expenses.

 Basic wellness care such as vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and deworming (along with emphasizing good hygiene around pets) can mitigate transmission of many zoonotic and vector-borne diseases.
