Navigating the New Era of Parasite Control

The way we prescribe anti-parasitics has fundamentally shifted. Gone are the days of blanket treatments; modern veterinary practice demands a risk-based approach to combat growing resistance and ensure regulatory compliance.

But we know that this transition isn’t easy. Vets are time-strapped, and many legacy practice management systems aren’t built to handle the complexities of individualised treatment plans. Educating pet owners on this new approach adds another layer of challenge.

Introducing Parachex™: Your Solution for Sustainable Parasite Management

Parachex™ is a comprehensive decision support tool that empowers your practice to seamlessly transition to a modern, responsible, and profitable approach to parasite control. Our platform solves the biggest challenges you face, bringing evidence-based prescribing back into the consult room.

By combining Parachex™ digital parasite risk assessment with advanced IDEXX Faecal Dx™ antigen testing, we provide an automated, highly sensitive screening process that catches infections sooner so vets can make better-informed treatment choices.

It is the ideal solution for your health plan members, delivering a completely zero-footprint, affordable service. Because home-collection kits are sent directly to the owner and mailed straight to the IDEXX laboratory, the process requires zero administrative time or physical storage from your team. This allows your practice to offer premium parasite stewardship with absolute clinical confidence and zero clinic overhead.

How Parachex™ Works

Parachex™ integrates with your existing workflow to create patient-specific parasite risk reports and treatment recommendations. It’s a system designed by vets, for vets.

  1. Risk Assessment: Pet owners complete a pre-consult questionnaire, allowing our platform to generate a bespoke parasite risk profile before the patient even arrives.
  2. Annual Faecal Screen (Optional): Complementing the risk profile, our annual faecal screen service is an ideal inclusion for health plan members. While optional, it provides the clinical evidence needed to reinforce sustainable, targeted prescribing.
  3. Bespoke Recommendations: The platform combines lifestyle risk profiling +/- faecal screen results to provide treatment recommendations tailored exactly to your clinic’s pharmacy and stewardship goals.

Seamless Integration: Uploadable reports are completed pre-consult and attached to patient records, ensuring compliance and efficiency.
