Should I treat my domestic cat for parasites: it's not that simple
Many owners of domestic cats are unanimous in the fact that if the pet does not go for walks outside, then there is no need to treat it for parasites.
For the same reason, many people refuse mandatory annual vaccinations for their pets.
Experts have a different point of view.
Even if a pet does not go outside, helminth eggs can enter the body of a pet through contact with the shoes or clothes of the owners, as well as through unprocessed food products - raw meat, fish, vegetables, - Veterinary Science and Life cites a warning from the Veterinary Department of the Sverdlovsk Region.
You won’t be able to figure out on your own that your pet has parasites.
However, the danger for the animal remains.
Parasites absorb nutrients entering the animal's body.
At the same time, certain species can cause harm to the animal’s intestinal walls, which can lead to infectious diseases.
Among other things, helminths secrete toxins that can be dangerous for the animal’s body.
Therefore, treatment must be carried out regularly.
