Can You Get Worms From Cats?



Did you know that you can also get worm infections from your cat? If you or anyone in the house comes into contact with infected feces or soil, worm infestation can pass on from pet to human. Here are some things to take note of to prevent worm infections at home:

      Your cat would benefit from a regular and thorough cleaning of the litter box to avoid exposure to infected feces.

      Feces excreted outdoors should be cleaned up regularly to lessen the chances of parasite infestations developing.

      If you or your kid goes outdoors, be careful of getting worms from usual modes of transmission like sandboxes where cats may have defecated. Do not walk barefoot in soil that may be contaminated and make sure to use gloves when gardening.

      Practice good hygiene to prevent accidentally ingesting or transmission of infection between pets and owners 

Work with your veterinarian London, ON in creating a parasite preventive program that will give year-round protection for your pet.
