GBGB-licence holders are welcome to join us on Thursday 27th February 2025 between 12-1 pm for a webinar by guest speaker Dr Ian Wright.

This free online session will focus on how to identify, eliminate and prevent the return of common parasites (i.e. endoparasites and ectoparasites) within the kennel environment.

This is a topical issue as there is scientific evidence to suggest that common parasites are building resistance to veterinary parasite preparations and that new ways will be needed to tackle them.

Dr Wright is a practising Veterinary Surgeon and co-owner of the Mount Veterinary Practice in Fleetwood. An expert in parasitology and Chair of the European Scientific Counsel of Companion Animal Parasites (ESCCAP), Dr Wright continues to carry out research including work on intestinal nematodes and ticks.

Dr Wright has over 130 published peer-reviewed articles and papers and is an editorial board member for the Companion Animal journal.

Meriel France, GBGB Education Manager, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Dr Wright, a leading expert in the field of parasitology, to deliver our latest webinar for GBGB-licence holders. This will be an invaluable session for trainers and kennel hands alike as they develop and put in place their kennel’s Health Plan and ensure it stays up to date with the latest science.”
