1. The reason why dogs get roundworms

Ascaris is a parasite that can parasitize your dog's intestines and cause health problems. The main reason dogs get roundworms is because they eat parasite eggs. Parasite eggs are eggs produced by parasites in the dog's body, which are excreted in dog poop and will exist in the environment for a period of time.

In addition, dogs can also be infected with roundworms from other dogs, as parasite eggs can survive on the hair. When one dog licks another dog's hair, it is possible to swallow parasite eggs.

2. Symptoms of roundworm in dogs

When a dog is infected with roundworms, its symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, weight loss, etc. If the number of roundworms infected is higher, it can lead to more serious health problems such as intestinal obstruction, peritonitis, etc., which can be life-threatening if not timed**.

1. Decreased host immunity

Weakened immunity in dogs is an important cause of roundworm infection, especially puppies and aging old dogs.

There are many reasons for the decline of immunity, such as disease, malnutrition, dirty environment, etc., which will lead to the imbalance of the internal balance of the dog's body, and the immunity will decrease, so that roundworms can take advantage of it.

2. The dog is in contact with the source of infection

Dogs are susceptible to infection when they come into contact with roundworm-infected animals, food, or eggs in the environment, especially dogs running around outside.

For example, garbage places such as dogs' parks, rural areas, and urban garbage heaps are high-risk areas where dogs are susceptible to Ascaris macro worms. In addition, dogs that are still pregnant, lactating, or under the age of immunization are also susceptible to roundworm infection.

3. Edible sources of infection

Dogs are susceptible to roundworm infection if they eat raw meat or undercooked food that contains roundworm eggs. Therefore, dogs that have been on raw food should be especially careful, as they may be infected with roundworms.

When preparing food for dogs at home, it is also necessary to pay attention to hygiene and handling to avoid contamination of the food, thereby preventing roundworm infection.

4. The growth and development stage of dogs

The growth and development stage of dogs is also a high incidence period for roundworm infection. In particular, puppies between the ages of 3 and 8 months are highly susceptible to roundworm infection because the immune system is not yet fully developed and the digestive system is not yet mature.
