Common parasites affecting pets include:

Fleas

These tiny insects feed on the blood of dogs and cats, causing itching, skin irritation, and allergic reactions in some pets. Fleas can also transmit diseases and parasites, such as tapeworms.

Heartworms

Heartworms are transmitted to pets through the bite of an infected mosquito. Once inside the pet's body, the worms can cause severe damage to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, leading to potentially life-threatening complications.

Ear Mites

Ear mites are tiny parasites that live in the ear canal of dogs and cats, causing itching, irritation, and inflammation. Left untreated, ear mite infestations can lead to ear infections and other complications.

Ticks

Ticks attach themselves to the skin of dogs and cats to feed on their blood. They can transmit a variety of diseases, including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Intestinal Worms

Intestinal worms, such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, can infect the digestive tract of dogs and cats, causing symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and anemia.

Flea Tapeworm

Fleas can transmit tapeworm larvae to pets, which develop into adult tapeworms in the intestines. Tapeworm infections can cause symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and itching around the anus.
