The data reflects trends in prevalence of major \u00a0internal parasites of dogs and cats. Though lower than that seen in shelter animals,<sup>1,2<\/sup> the data clearly indicates that internal parasites remain \u00a0prevalent in pets, even though they presumably receive some parasite control medications.<\/p>\n<p>The results are as expected, when we group pets by age. Roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms are more common in puppies, kittens, and young \u00a0adults. Canine whipworm is more difficult to detect, due to egg weight causing difficulty in egg recovery by fecal flotation, and intermittent shedding \u00a0of eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, these results should serve as a reminder to veterinarians and pet owners that we cannot relax our emphasis on year-round broad spectrum internal parasite control.
