Intestinal parasites are common in dogs (and cats!) and can cause various health issues. Here are some of the most prevalent types:

🐾Hookworms: These attach to the stomach wall, feed on blood, and can be transmitted to humans. Symptoms include poor growth in puppies, diarrhea, and dark, tarry stools.
🐾Roundworms: Almost all dogs will have roundworms at some point. They can also be transmitted to humans. Signs include diarrhea with mucus, poor growth in puppies, and visible worms in f***s.
🐾Tapeworms: These flat, segmented worms reside in the intestine. Some types can be transmitted to humans. Symptoms include malaise, irritability, and visible segments in f***s.
🐾Giardia: A one-celled parasitic organism found in the small intestine. It can affect both dogs and humans, causing diarrhea, weight loss, and poor condition.
🐾Coccidia: These one-celled organisms cause intestinal tract infections. While the most common type in dogs isn’t easily transmitted to humans, other less common types can be. Symptoms include bloody diarrhea and lethargy.

Remember, regular f***l exams by your veterinarian are crucial for early detection and proper management. If you suspect your dog has intestinal parasites, consult your vet promptly!
Call 850-682-2626 extension #4 to schedule your pet’s f***l test and to pick up some prevention! vaccination. ☎️ 🐕

Heat exhaustion and Heatstroke are serious concerns for our pets here in Florida ☀️ Do not leave animals in vehicles or outside for extended periods of time.
Brachycephalic breeds, like Pugs and French Bulldogs, are more likely to get heat stroke because they can't breathe as well due to extra tissue in their mouths and throats.
Signs of Heat exhaustion and Heat Stroke in dogs:
💥 Excessive Panting
💥Weakness and Fatigue
💥Increased Thirst
💥 Unable to walk/Collapsing

It is VERY important that if you dog is experiencing any of these systems and you think they could have heat related issues, get them medical attention immediately.
