Intestinal worms are among the most common health issues dogs face. The good news is that they're usually easy to diagnose, treat, and prevent when caught early.

Many dogs with worms look completely healthy, making routine fecal testing and parasite prevention an important part of keeping your dog healthy.

Canine influenza, commonly called dog flu, is a highly contagious respiratory disease that spreads quickly anywhere dogs gather. While most dogs recover fully, some can develop pneumonia or more serious complications, making early recognition and prevention important.

Kennel cough is one of the most recognized respiratory illnesses in dogs—but despite its name, it isn't only found in kennels. Dogs can pick it up anywhere they interact with other dogs, including parks, grooming salons, training classes, veterinary clinics, dog-friendly stores, and daycare or boarding facilities.

The good news is that most healthy dogs recover well with supportive care and, when needed, veterinary treatment.

Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites found in dogs. It can affect dogs of any age but is especially common in puppies and dogs that visit parks, daycare, boarding facilities, hiking trails, or areas where many dogs frequent.

The good news? Giardia is treatable, and there are several ways you can reduce your dog's risk.

One of the most common questions we receive is:
"My dog tested positive for coccidia. Should I be worried?"
The short answer is: it depends.
