PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veterinary Products Laboratories (VPL) today announced it has become a corporate sponsor of the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), the leading resource on internal and external parasites that threaten the health of pets and people. The sponsorship marks a commitment to the organization.
Founded in 2002, CAPC was formed with the express purpose of changing the way veterinary professionals and pet owners approach parasite management, via best practices that better protect pets from parasitic infections while reducing the risk of zoonotic parasite transmission. The organization produces a number of leading industry resources that are recognized by the veterinary profession. These include the CAPC guidelines for parasitic prevention and control measures for ectoparasites, heartworm and intestinal parasites, and the CAPC parasite prevalence maps, which monitors vector-born and heartworm disease activity at the local and county levels across the United States.
“VPL has long admired CAPC and their efforts to advance veterinary medicine in the important and ever-changing area of parasite control,” said David Arnold, President, VPL. “We are proud to align ourselves with this organization in support of its overall mission, doing our part to help improve the health of our pets and further strengthen the bond between pets and pet owners.”
