We are finding an increase in hookworm infections that are resistant to the standard treatment. Hookworms are a zoonotic parasite meaning, we can get them from our pet. Children are at risk for contracting this parasite. Children play in the environments where there is contaminated soil. We hgihly urge you to get your pets stool checked. If you have not had a stool (f***l) test run in the past year, please drop off a sample.



Understanding Hookworms in Dogs

Can Humans Get Hookworm?

Perhaps the most concerning aspect of hookworms in dogs is the potential for human infection. While adult hookworms cannot infect humans, the larvae can burrow into the human body. Lying on infected soil can allow hookworm larvae to burrow under your skin, which causes uncomfortable itching and is commonly referred to as ?ground itch.?

Hookworms in humans can be dangerous. The migrating larvae can pe*****te and damage internal organs and eyes, causing blindness and complications. Luckily, these conditions are rare and can be avoided by preventing contact between skin and moist, hookworm-infected soil. Bathing and washing your hands regularly can help prevent infection.

Preventing parasites is an important part of responsible pet ownership. Knowing the symptoms of hookworms in dogs and how to prevent hookworms will help keep your dog happy, healthy, and hookworm-free. For more information about hookworms, or if you suspect that your dog has a hookworm infection, talk to your veterinarian.
