What do Overland Park, Kansas, the California cities of San Francisco, Thousand Oaks, Salinas and Oceanside, along with Laredo, Texas, Clarksville, Tennessee, Portland, Oregon Providence, Rhode Island and Jersey City, New Jersey have in common? They share the dubious honor of being named earlier this year, the top 10 cities in the United States with the highest percentage increases in positive heartworm tests in our companion pets. This mosquito-borne disease can be deadly to cats and dogs. And it's one hundred percent preventable. But what if you don't live in one of these areas? What if your pet is totally indoors? What if you've never seen mosquitoes? Do you still have to worry? My guest today is an expert in veterinary parasitology and has had first-hand experience in the devastating effects that this disease can have on our pets. Dr. Cassan Pulaski has a masters of preventive health and is a doctor of veterinary medicine. She's a member of the Board of the Companion Animal Parasite Council, a post doctorate research and teaching associate at the University of Georgia, and director of the parasitology section of the Athens Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. She knows what she's talking about. And we'll be chatting with her this week. Tune in! EPISODE NOTES: The Heartbreak of Heartworms

Lyme disease…most people know that it is a disease caused by ticks. You may know that people get a bull's eyes lesion at the site of the bite. To be a risk you have to live on the East coast of the U.S. and you have to go trekking through the woods in order to be exposed…well 2 out of 3 isn't bad but it could be an extremely serious short fall in your understanding of this spreading disease. To clear up some misconceptions and enlighten us on new research is Dr. Craig Prior, the immediate past-president of the Companion Animal Parasite Council…an organization whose information I use on an almost daily basis in my practice.

Parasites are one of the leading health issues that our pets face. Depending on the region that you live in, the risk of contracting certain parasites may be much greater than in other parts of the country. Some pet owners worry about the dangers of parasite preventatives, the cost associated with these products and/or how frequently they should use them on their pets. In this podcast episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Craig Prior, a certified veterinarian who sits on the board of the Companion Animal Parasite Council. He’s sharing some very helpful information on the most common parasites found in companion animals and what we can do to prevent our pets from contracting them.

In today's episode, we have an awesome guest, Danielle Lambert. We dive into how to build a personal and business brand in the veterinary industry and this episode is full of gold! If you have been hiding under a rock and don't know Danielle yet, she is the Snout School founder, an international speaker, and social media addict working to empower veterinary businesses and brands to succeed online. Danielle has built social media campaigns for accounts ranging from DrAndyRoark.com to the Companion Animal Parasite Council, but she is most well-known for being a dog mom to Archer, the Brussels Griffon. This episode is full of awesome info, we talk about practical tips on how to build a brand, including defining your audience and coming out to choose and communicate with your ideal audience. I think that the work that she is doing to help educate veterinary professionals on how to build personal brands will have a huge impact on helping the veterinary industry find its voice and reach more pet owners. This is incredibly important if the industry wants to drive the conversation inside of non-veterinary voices producing sensationalist content (who needs a vet when you have coconut oil). Not only do we cover branding, but we talk about websites, and how that relates to building a brand presence too.  I think you'll love the interview and find it very helpful in your marketing.  Be sure to check out http://www.snoutschool.com

PARASITES FORECASTS ARE IN: Companion Animal Parasite Council Predicts 2017 to Be a Hotbed an Increase Prevalence of Heartworm for PROTECT YOUR PET â?? NOW IS THE TIME! The Nationâ??s Leading Parasite Experts Show Us How There are more than 175 million dogs and cats in the United States. However, only 60 percent of dogs are protected for parasite transmitted diseases like heartworm and Lyme disease. For cats, itâ??s fewer than four in 10. Millions of these pets are infected each year by parasites like fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. Even worse, some of these parasites carry diseases that can be transmitted to YOU. NOW is the time to protect your pets and family! Much like the National Weather Service can forecast turbulent weather, the Companion Animal Parasite Council projects how bad the parasite season will be. Based on a model similar to that used to predict U.S. hurricanes, the annual Companion Animal Parasite Council Forecasts predicts activity based on factors like temperature, precipitation and population density. Shifting weather patterns have created ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes across the country. Mosquitoes transmit heartworm disease, which can be deadly to pets. The threat of heartworm disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, is expected to be above average, nationwide. â?¨ Lyme disease is a high threat this year again as ticks that transmit the agent of Lyme disease have expanded their range from New York to Western Wisconsin. Transmission of the agents of anaplasmosis continues to be a problem in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Ehrlichiosis is geographically a challenge. The disease can be nonexistent to rampant within 200 miles. To keep pets and people safe from ticks and other parasites, the Companion Animal Parasite Council recommends: Providing year-round protection against parasite-transmitted diseases for your pet Take your pet to the veterinarian every year for parasite testing because pets often donâ??t show symptoms when they first have a disease. Checking the disease threat in your area by signing up for the Companion Animal Parasite Council updates at http://www.petsandparasites.org.
