According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council, one to three million people are infected with hookworm by pets annually...and it's preventable. Heartworm prevention can save your pet's life. Roundworm can be transmitted to people, particularly to kids, and it can be serious...but that's as preventable in our dogs. And no one wants a pet to have giardia (and the diarrhea that generally goes right along with it), yuck. So, prevention is key....
