Intestinal Parasite Education
Warning: this post is about poop!
💩 If you're ever wondered why you're asked to bring in a fecal sample as part of your pet's annual wellness exam, the answer is to check for intestinal parasites.
There are a variety of parasites that thrive inside of otherwis healthy pets, so having them routinely tested is essential to their well-being. Your pet's poop will be checked for evidence of hookworms, roundworms, giardia, and more.
These parasites can not only make pets uncomfortable and irritable, but can also lead to many more serious issues if left untreated. Several parasites can even be transmitted to people, so by having your pet's feces examined, you are protecting humans in your household, too!
