Simparica Trio
This is an opportunity to prepare a pet health story, which focuses on Erin Holland sharing her family's personal experience with parasites.
KEY DETAILS
- A health scare that never really ended. Erin Holland's beloved Siberian Husky, Skylar, contracted parasites as a puppy, and the impact on her digestive health is something Erin and her vet still manage today. It continues to be a lasting lesson on how much damage a 'minor' infestation can do.
- Don't wait for symptoms to arrive. Erin was lucky to catch the parasite infestation, but many pet parents don't detect parasites until there are visible signs, by which point they can have an impact on your dog's health. Now, Erin wants to clear up this misconception to warn others to remain vigilant.
- Having a baby has raised the stakes. With her first child on the way, Erin is thinking about what 'family health' means under one roof. She's adamant that Skylar's parasite prevention routine isn't something to cut corners on.
- Prevention is the cheaper choice, even when money is tight. Australian pet owners spend an average of $287 every time their dog needs vet treatment for a parasite infestation, with severe cases running into the thousands. For Erin, juggling the cost of a growing family, routine prevention isn't a luxury spend, it's the option that avoids a much bigger bill down the track.
