UK Government regulations for prescribing parasite control treatments (flea, tick and worming) state that every pet must have had a physical examination by a vet and a prescription plan written into their medical notes at the time to allow these products to be dispensed. The treatments can still be given out every 3 months and the prescription will be valid for 12 months. The health check which is performed every 12 months during their booster vaccination will include updating their parasite control plan.
If you would like to change the type of parasite control which your pet has, you will need to bring them in for a vet consultation. The vet will perform a health check and discuss which treatment is the most appropriate for your pet and their lifestyle. They can then make a prescription plan which will be valid for the next 12 months.
