What is Parachex?
Parachex is a parasite risk assessment decision support tool designed for veterinary practices. It delivers personalised flea and worm treatment recommendations for each pet based on lifestyle and risk factors. The assessment is completed before the consultation and aligned with your clinic’s preferred products.
Why It Matters
Traditional approaches to parasite control are under scrutiny. Practices must now demonstrate responsible prescribing to meet RCVS standards.
“A practice must be able to demonstrate that when using ectoparasiticides, it does so responsibly.”
- Blanket treatments encourage overuse
- Subscription plans limit clinician discretion
- Manual systems increase error risk
