When it comes to caring for our dogs, it’s our job to keep our fur buddies healthy and safe.
Knowing what may be detrimental to their health is an important part of being a responsible owner.
Three major health concerns for dog owners include heartworm, gastrointestinal worms, and ticks & fleas--a single bite from any of these parasites pose as a potentially deadly disease for our pets. But what exactly are these pests that cause harm to our beloved dogs?
HEARTWORMS, GASTROINTESTINAL WORMS, TICKS, AND FLEAS: Silent Threats
Heartworm is a parasitic disease spread by mosquitos and transmitted when they feed off our dogs, and can be debilitating and potentially fatal. Fleas are frustrating parasites that cause allergic dermatitis, not only to pets but to humans as well, and may lead to tapeworms if carried by the pest. Ticks on the other hand are quite small, you only notice them once they are swollen with blood. Though it can be carefully removed, infections may occur and can cause kidney-related problems. Gastrointestinal worms come from eggs passed in the feces of infected animals, and dogs are at high risk due to their tendency to eat soil and feces. Humans are also at risk as these parasites can also be transmitted to people with dire consequences to their health.
As dog owners, it’s best to ensure preventive measures to avoid illness rather than having it treated at the last minute. We don’t want to risk our dog’s health and cause them anxiety by being apart from us as they get wait to be cured. However, with so many options in the market, it’s quite confusing to choose which one we should give them. Apart from having the difficulty of being presented with various options, it can also be expensive to purchase medication for each health concern. Furthermore, having our dogs take different supplements for each health concern may pose as a danger if an owner proceeds without the proper guidance as some ingredients may not be safe to be taken at the same time.
