The former Olympic swimmer is backing the No Bite is Rightcampaign and is making her way around the country on the Tickbuster Tour, alongsidea panel of experts including TV vet Paul Manktelow and parasite expert IanWright, to answer any questions people have about parasites and their effectson their pets.

The Tickbuster tour (which journeyed to Ayr and Devon CountyShows in May), is highlighting new research that shows that almost one in tenpet owners don’t do anything to prevent their pets being bitten by ticks andfleas, while only a quarter treat their pet with a preventative treatment atthe recommended frequency. Furthermore, less than 60% believe they have controlover their pet’s protection from parasites like ticks, fleas and lungworm.

But while nasty and in some cases potentially fatal – all ofthese parasites and the diseases they spread can be protected against byregular use of suitable preventative products available from vets.
