Lungworm Threat to UK Pets
There is now a threat to the UK dog population in the form of lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum). Recently reported in the national press, this parasite is carried by slugs, snails and even frogs. The problem arises when dogs purposefully or accidentally eat these pests when rummaging through undergrowth, eating grass, drinking from puddles or outdoor water bowls, or pick them up from their toys. more information
