Protecting Pets and People from Parasites

ESCCAP (European Scientific Counsel Companion Animal Parasites) is an independent, non-profit making organization whose role is to develop guidelines for the treatment and control of parasites in pet animals. The guidelines are developed to protect the health of pets, enhance the safety of the public and preserve the bond between pets and people.

There is great diversity in the parasites and their importance across Europe. ESCCAP guidelines summarise the different situations within Europe, highlighting important differences between parasites and between different parts of Europe where necessary, and recommend specific control measures.

ESCCAP guidelines are created independently by experts in Parasitology from across Europe.
