The Importance of Internal and External Parasites in Cats and Dogs

Parasites in cats and dogs are among the most common animal diseases. Two types of parasite diseases can occur in cats and dogs: internal and external parasites. This issue not only affects their health but also poses a threat to human health, especially in cats and dogs living with humans.

So, what are the most common internal and external parasites?

Why Should Internal and External Parasite Treatments Be Applied?

Internal and external parasites in cats and dogs pose serious threats to the health of both animals and humans.

Periodic parasite treatments in pets like cats and dogs will make these animals healthier and more lively. These applications help improve the quality of life for both animals and humans.

Parasite treatments are performed both for treatment and prevention purposes.

Many problems may arise from irregular parasite treatments. Pets may experience skin disorders, deterioration of fur structure, dullness, itching, and irritations related to the skin barrier; metabolic problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, anemia, and weight loss may occur. Additionally, humans may also be at risk during this process.

Do not neglect your internal and external parasite treatments at the intervals deemed appropriate by your veterinarian. If you encounter a parasitic problem in your pet, you must contact your veterinarian.
