Warmer weather means more opportunities for pets to come in contact with a variety of intestinal parasites Hello hello, Dallas Voice fans!
March is starting, and many of us are loving this weather. With better weather, we are seeing more and more people taking their pups outside, which is excellent.
But it also means we are going to see a higher exposure to parasites in the environment. I will be focusing this Woof column on intestinal parasites, but please be aware that there are more than just intestinal parasites out there that could affect our cats and dogs.
I want to start by addressing some myths about intestinal parasites. First of all, not all of them look like spaghetti. In fact, there are some types of intestinal parasites that are microscopic, meaning you would never even see them in your pet’s poop.
