Giardia alert! As the temps start dropping and you are spending more time outdoors with your pets, make note of high risk areas in the metro!
Giardia is one of those things you donāt always see comingābut your pet can still pick it up.
Giardia is a microscopic parasite that spreads through contaminated water, soil, surfaces, and f***s. Pets who spend time outdoors, visit dog parks, go to daycare or boarding, or share spaces with other animals can be exposed.
Take a look at our local Giardia risk forecast and keep an eye out for signs like diarrhea, soft or greasy stools, vomiting, decreased appetite, or weight loss.
A little prevention goes a long way: fresh water, good poop-scooping habits, clean shared spaces, and regular veterinary care can all help reduce exposure.
If your pet develops persistent or unusual GI symptoms, give us a call!
