Summary
Parasite prevention is about a lot more than “worms.” In this Dog Driven solo episode, we break down the life cycles of common parasites in dogs, how infections happen, why year-round prevention matters, and the biggest mistakes owners make when it comes to keeping dogs protected. From fleas and ticks to intestinal parasites and heartworm, this episode is a practical look at why prevention is one of the most important parts of long-term canine care. Guidance in the episode aligns with current recommendations from CAPC and the American Heartworm Society, including year-round prevention and routine testing.
