As a species, dog have a significant role as definitive hosts of a large number of parasites, shedding helminth eggs and protozoan cysts and oocysts via faeces in environment and spreading of diseases. Intestinal parasitoses are common diseases in young dogs. The most common intestinal parasitoses are caused by protozoa and helminths. The most common parasites in dogs small and large intestines belong to genera Trichuris, Toxocara, Ancylostoma, Echinococcus and Dipylidium. They do not have to cause clinical manifestations in dogs, but might cause persistent diarrhea which takes turns with constipations, followed by reduced appetite, weight loss, stunted growth and development, and occurrence of anaemia. Many of these endoparasites are common to dogs and humans. In order to prevent their spread, it is necessary to take care of the dog food hygiene, especially when it comes to the use of abattoir waste. Cleaning of accommodation facilities and a regular antihelminthic treatment and control are essential.
