Editor’s Note:
April showers, bring parasites – lots of them. Spring is a time of year that offers veterinarians another opportunity to educate their clients about health risks, treatments and prevention. This issue of DVM Newsmagazine offers a wealth of information to help veterinarians guide their clients to make the best decisions to benefit animal health. That’s really what it’s all about, isn’t it? We are here to help save lives, prevent disease and foster the bond that pet owners share with their pets. So, we can never underestimate the power of education.
