Where Do Dogs Get Parasites?
One way dogs can pick up intestinal parasites is by ingesting the parasite or its eggs. Common sources can include contaminated food or water, licking contaminated surfaces or objects, or nursing.
Some dogs may not show signs of infection, but other pets may experience:
- Loose stool
- Diarrhea
- Bloody stool
- Weight loss
- An inability to gain weight
- A dull, coarse hair coat
- Worms visible in the feces
How to protect my pet from parasites
There are many types of intestinal parasites that are prevalent across the United States. Infections can happen — even to well cared for pets! The best things pet owners can do to prevent infections are to:
- Routinely administer effective parasite control
- Promptly remove feces from litterboxes, yards, and/or kennels
- Provide fresh, clean water
Plus, ask us about periodic screenings to help catch infections as early as possible.
Year-round protection is important
Protecting your pet with year-round applications is important because fleas, heartworms, intestinal parasites, and ear mites are year-round threats. They can bite, itch, cause discomfort, and threaten your pet’s overall health, whether inside or out.
Call us today, and to make a parasite protection plan for you pet!

How Do Dogs Get Heartworm Disease?
At least 70 species of mosquitoes carry the organism that causes heartworm disease in dogs and cats. Heartworm infection is more common in dogs, but cats can become infected as well.
Mosquito prevention supports heartworm prevention
Effective insect control helps protect your pet since heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes. Any time the temperature rises, mosquitoes can become active — and potentially infectious — again. This is one of the reasons why it’s important to maintain year-round heartworm prevention medication for your pet. We can never tell when the temperature may rise and leave your pet exposed to a potentially life-threatening heartworm infection!
Heartworm disease is common
Heartworm disease has been diagnosed in all 50 states. It’s also spreading to new regions of the country each year. Stray dogs and wildlife can be carriers of heartworms. Plus, infected mosquitoes can come inside — putting both outdoor and indoor pets at risk.
Can I give heartworm medication without testing?
Heartworm disease is serious. There’s a better chance your pet can recover if the disease is caught early. There are often no signs until 5 to 6 months after infection.
All dogs should be tested annually for heartworm infection, and this can usually be done during a routine visit for preventive care. The current guidelines recommend only puppies under 7 months old start on heartworm prevention without a test. Annual tests help make sure the prevention program is effective.
We can help find an effective and affordable prevention program for your pet. Call today to schedule your appointment and keep your pet protected!
