Not sure what parasites are a risk to shelter pets in your region? Wondering if climate change, an
influx of pets from other areas, or if the effect of natural disasters has changed the local parasite
profile? The Companion Animal Parasite Council has you covered.

The CAPC is “an independent council of veterinarians, veterinary parasitologists, and other
animal health care professionals established to create guidelines for the optimal control of
internal and external parasites that threaten the health of pets and people. It brings together broad
expertise in parasitology, internal medicine, public health, veterinary law, private practice and
association leadership.”

On their website, you can check a national parasite prevalence map, and sign up to receive email
updates when it changes.
