Welcome to the Lungworm Campaign Page
Lungworm is endemic throughout much of the UK and yet many pet owner's are not aware of the risks of lungworm and do not protect their dogs with a monthly preventative treatment.
The Elanco Lungworm Campaign has been designed to help educate pet owners on the risks of lungworm and encourage them to talk to their vet about monthly prevention. Lungworm could be hidden just around the corner, so we'll be providing all the tools you need to get involved and raise awareness with your clients.
Social Media
Social media can be time consuming alongside everything else in practice, but it is a great way to communicate with clients and provide reminders of important topics. Our social media toolkit contains ready-to-use posts designed to educate clients about lungworm, as well as a step-by-step guide to using social media for your business. The kit includes gifs and images along with suggested text to make them quick and easy to post.
