Internal Parasites

Internal Parasites

Internal parasites can be found within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, heart, large blood vessels, and lungs of your pet. These can all be detected with the proper testing. While some may be visible with the naked eye, others are microscopic.  Even more worrisome, some parasites are ZOONOTIC, which means humans can become infected. 

Common internal parasites that are found in the GI tract include:
  • Coccidia                    Cat   or   Dog
  • Giardia                       Dog 
  • Hookworms             Cat   or   Dog
  • Roundworms           Cat   or   Dog
  • Tapeworms              Cat   or   Dog 
  • ​Toxoplasmosis         Cat
  • Whipworms             Dog

The internal parasite that is found in the heart, large blood vessels, and lungs is:
  • ​Heartworm               Cat   or   Dog
