Parasites such as roundworms and giardia can affect not only dogs and cats, but humans too!
Certain parasites are very difficult to get rid of from the environment thus making it easy for pets to acquire them from the soil or sometimes other parasites such as fleas.
To protect your pet and your family, it is important to make sure you keep your pet on a year-round parasite program. It can be difficult to detect worms and other parasites in the stool with the naked eye unless there is a very high burden of parasites. This is why it is important to have your pets stool tested at least annually to screen for low burdens of parasites and parasites that are not covered by routine prevention.
