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
