Parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, and Giardia live in the digestive tract and may cause symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, poor coat quality, abdominal discomfort, and, in severe cases, anemia or dehydration. Some infected pets may show few or no outward signs while still shedding parasite eggs into the environment.
Regular fecal testing, routine deworming, good hygiene, and year-round parasite prevention are important for protecting your pet's health. Because some intestinal parasites can also infect people, especially children, early detection and treatment are essential for both animal and human health.
