Common Internal Parasites Found in Dogs

For the well-being of your beloved canine companion, it's crucial to follow your veterinarian's recommendations for deworming medications and schedules. Regular deworming helps protect dogs from the following internal parasites:

  • Roundworms: These large intestinal worms are one of the most common worm infections in puppies. They can cause vomiting, diarrhea, potbelly appearance, and stunted growth.
  • Hookworms: These small, hook-shaped worms attach to the intestinal lining and feed on blood, potentially causing anemia in severe cases.
  • Whipworms: These worms live in the cecum and colon and can cause bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and general unthriftiness.
  • Tapeworms: These segmented flatworms are contracted from fleas or undercooked meat. They can cause weight loss and irritation around the anus.
  • Heartworms: Transmitted by mosquitoes, these worms migrate to the heart and lungs, leading to coughing, lethargy, and potential heart failure if untreated.
  • Giardia: This single-celled parasite causes diarrhea and can be transmitted through contaminated water or feces.
