The Big Tick Survey results have been publicised and released in the media as part of tick awareness month http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-37252925. These results demonstrate the large numbers of ticks that dogs are being exposed to and are likely to generate queries in practice regarding tick-borne disease and control. ESCCAP UK & Ireland have produced an independent consensus tick prevention advice page from across the industry and is available on its website. Increased awareness and consistent advice are important steps in reducing tick-borne disease in dogs and the public.
Nominations are open for the 2026 ESCCAP UK & Ireland Parasite Control Champion of the Year Award.
