Pet Treatments Polluting Rivers | Aberdeen News
Description
Peers in the House of Lords are warning that millions of unnecessary flea and tick treatments for pets are polluting rivers and harming nature, with new evidence showing little scientific backing for current usage. Experts urge stricter controls—especially on over-the-counter sales—and clearer guidance to ensure these powerful chemicals aren’t misused. Veterinarians and environmental groups agree: while vital for pet health, these products must be used responsibly. Regulatory bodies and the government are now aligning to balance animal welfare with environmental protection, aiming to clean up waterways and prevent further ecological damage.
