Lungworm infections are now being diagnosed in the North-west of England. The life-threatening lungworm A. vasorum is carried by slugs and snails. If your dog comes into contact with these common garden pests there is a risk it could become infected.

please visit www.lungworm.co.uk, call in for a leaflet, speak to the vet at your next visit or telephone for further information on how to prevent it. Please note that none of the regular worming or spot-on preparations are effective against lungworm.
