Hello, Woof readers. I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather and getting excited for the summer that is around the corner.
This month I will be discussing the infamous intestinal parasites that we find affecting our dogs and cats. As a veterinarian, I’ve seen many cases of intestinal parasites in dogs and cats over the years, and we tend to see more of them when the weather is nicer, because that’s when we start taking our dogs outside more and more.
Unfortunately, intestinal parasites are very common here in Texas, and both dogs and cats can become infected with them. Now there are certainly some common myths about intestinal parasites.
People tend to think that all parasites look like spaghetti and that if they if they don’t see any of that, then their pets don’t have any intestinal parasites.
