Lungworm Awareness

Angiostrongylus vasorum, commonly known as 'lungworm' is a disease we are seeing more commonly in the UK causing serious illness and potentially death in our pet dogs. It is caught when dogs eat infected slugs and snails and sometimes by just eating the grass which can contain very small snails which we can't see. As a vet I always prefer to prevent disease rather than treat animals once they have become unwell so I am very glad that Bayer have started promoting this disease and their treatment for it which is a spot-on treatment called Advocate which we stock at the clinic. So if you live near Kennington, London SE11 4QE come and see me and my team to make sure we protect your dog....
