Five key threats to your dog’s health:
Heartworm disease:
- Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and infection in dogs has been reported in all 50 states
- Symptoms include coughing, sluggishness and difficulty breathing, although some dogs may show no signs at all.
Hookworm:
- A common intestinal parasite, one study showed as many as 29.8% dogs in the U.S. were infected
- Can be transmitted in many ways: ingestion of infected intermediate hosts, soil or feces, by microscopic larvae penetrating the pads of a dog’s paws or as pups via their mother’s milk
- Symptoms may include bloody diarrhea, weight loss and anemia
Roundworm:
- As many as 12.5% of shelter dogs in the U.S. have roundworms (T. canis)
- There is high prevalence of infection, even in dogs routinely treated for intestinal parasites.
- Symptoms may include diarrhea, vomiting, stunted growth, and a bloated belly. Heavy accumulations can cause death.
Whipworm:
- A common parasite, approximately 18.7% of shelter dogs in U.S. are infected .
- Contracted by dogs ingesting infective eggs (from soil or other contaminated or infested matter where infective eggs are found)
- Symptoms may include bloody diarrhea, dehydration and anemia
Tapeworm:
- Typically acquired by ingesting tapeworm larvae residing in a host such as rabbits, rodents or fleas
- Tapeworm segments can show up in a dog’s feces or on the fur under its tail
