Signs of Parasites in Dogs and How to Identify Them

Parasites can be harmful to your dog's health and it's important to be able to identify signs of infestation. Common signs of parasites in dogs include itching, scratching, hair loss, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and visible parasites such as fleas or ticks. To identify parasites, regularly check your dog's fur for fleas or ticks, especially in areas like the neck, ears, and belly. Look for signs of tapeworms in the feces or around the dog's anus. Regularly inspect your dog's skin for any redness, bumps, or sores which could indicate a parasitic infestation.
