Responsible pet parasite control: Protecting pets and wildlife
Blog about the environmental impacts of pet parasiticides by Dr Rosemary Perkins who is a practising companion animal vet and research associate at the University of Sussex.
Our scientific research found chemicals used in veterinary flea and tick treatments present in birds' nests. These pesticides have potentially harmful effects on songbirds.
Our campaign will help raise awareness of the environmental risks associated with these treatments.
SongBird Survival believes that the evidence base that informs UK policy is inadequate or lacking, and more needs to be done to identify the real drivers behind continued songbird declines.
We commission and fund high-quality scientific research to fill in these evidence gaps.
We need your help to fund our crucial independent research and work.
