Government rejects longer pet bathing rules after parasite treatments
Original: Government rejects longer pet bathing restrictions after parasite treatments
The government has rejected proposals to extend restrictions on bathing pets following parasite treatments, amid concerns that veterinary products such as spot-on flea and tick treatments can wash into waterways and harm aquatic life. Environmental and water groups had pushed for longer waiting periods before pets are bathed or swim, but regulators decided against tightening the current guidance.
Why now: Growing concern over pesticide residues from pet parasite treatments polluting rivers and waterways has put the issue on the regulatory agenda.
