Giarcidia FAQs

1.     How can my dog/cat become infected with worms?

 Dogs and cats can pick up worms surprisingly easily during normal daily activities. The main routes are through contact with contaminated poop/soil, infected prey or fleas, and from their mother when they are very young.

2.      How can I tell if my dog/cat has worms or parasites?

 Common general signs are weight loss or poor growth (especially in puppies/kittens), even if they are eating normally or seem extra hungry. Also dull, poor‑quality coat, low energy, or weakness because parasites are stealing nutrients or causing anemia. Diarrhea, mucus, blood, vomiting, and bloated abdomen are also signs!

3.      What type of worms can my dog/cat be infected with?

Dogs and cats can get several different kinds of worms and a few non-worm intestinal parasites. Not every pet will encounter all of them, but prevention usually targets the whole group. Tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, pinworms, lungworms and whipworms are the type of worms they can get infected with but at Giarcidia we have the solution!

5.      How often should I treat my dog/cat for worms/parasites?

 Many vets recommend routine deworming for adult dogs and cats about every 3 months (4 times per year), with more frequent treatment (monthly) for pets that hunt, scavenge, eat raw meat, or live with young children, elderly, or immunocompromised people. Puppies and kittens are typically dewormed starting at about 2–3 weeks of age, then every 2 weeks until around 8–12 weeks, then monthly until about 6 months old, before switching to an adult schedule.

           What is Giardia and how do I treat it?

 Giardia is a single‑celled protozoan (not a worm) that lives in the small intestine and is shed in the stool as hardy “cysts,” which can contaminate water, soil, bowls, fur, and surfaces. Pets become infected mainly by swallowing these cysts from contaminated water (puddles, streams, shared bowls), licking contaminated fur or paws, or eating something soiled with infected feces.

           What is Coccidia and how do I treat it?

Coccidia are single‑celled protozoa (often in the genus Cystoisospora/Isospora) that live inside the cells lining the intestine and can cause irritation and damage there. Dogs and cats usually become infected by swallowing microscopic “oocysts” from contaminated feces, soil, litter, or surfaces, or by eating small prey (like rodents) that carry a resting stage of the parasite. .
