Hookworms in dogs can cause serious health issues if left untreated, especially in puppies and senior pets. At Atlas Pet Hospital in Norco, our veterinary team provides expert diagnosis, treatment, and prevention plans to protect your dog from this common intestinal parasite. Hookworms attach to the intestinal lining and feed on blood, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, weakness, and anemia. Because they are contagious to other pets and even humans, early detection and treatment are crucial. We use effective deworming protocols and recommend routine fecal testing to monitor your dog’s health. In addition to treatment, our team offers preventive strategies, including parasite-control products and environmental management, to keep your home and yard safe.
