MSD Animal Health has set up a pet owner online registration facility for its VetsDeliver service, which delivers parasiticides direct from the vet to the owner.

Designed to help veterinary practices save clients' time and improve compliance, VetsDeliver supplies Bravecto - the company's 12 week flea and tick treatment - with the wormer of the vet's choice, by post.

Before the pandemic, practices registered clients for the service online or during an appointment and clients would have to collect the first treatments from the practice.

In response to the pandemic, however, MSD has made now it possible for clients to register from home and get their first treatments sent by post.

Amanda Melvin, Marketing Manager for Companion Animals at MSD Animal Health said: "We are all in unchartered territory and we appreciate the pressure veterinary teams are under to continue to care for their clients and local pet community.

"Many businesses are having to add new services to support online facilities and home delivery, and for vets there is also now a need to reduce footfall into practice while still generating income. Making sure effective parasite control is available will help improve compliance as temperatures rise and the risks to the health of our pets increase. It's one less thing for you and your clients to worry about."
