Parasites in dogs

There is probably no dog owner who does not have to deal with parasites in his dog from time to time. These include Giardia and worms, which cause massive digestive problems in affected quadrupeds.

Apart from these, however, there are also a number of parasites that attack the dog's skin and therefore primarily lead to skin problems such as itching and rashes.

It is important for the health and well-being of dogs to protect them from parasites as effectively as possible and to counteract any infestation as soon as possible. How this is best achieved is explained in our detailed articles on the subject of parasites in dogs.
