Dogs can be affected by various parasites that can cause health issues if not treated promptly. Some common parasites in dogs include fleas, ticks, mites, and worms. Fleas are small insects that feed on the dog's blood and can cause itching, skin irritation, and even transmit diseases. Ticks are external parasites that can transmit serious illnesses such as Lyme disease. Mites, like sarcoptic mange mites or ear mites, can cause skin irritation and discomfort. Intestinal worms such as roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can also affect dogs' health, causing symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, and anemia.
