Intestinal parasites are basically mostly worms that live in dogs' intestinal tracts. For instance, there's a roundworm and hookworm that live in the stomach and the small intestines of dogs, and there are tapeworms that live in the large intestines of dogs. There are intestinal parasites that are not worms, such as coccidia and Giardia. They're one-cell organisms that are also considered parasites in the intestinal tract.

What you need to bring to a wellness exam is a good history, information on how your dog's been doing at home, what the behaviors are that you consider normal, and any behaviors that you consider to be abnormal. If your dog is older and is on some prescriptions, bring the list of prescriptions that they're on. Those, along with the name of the dog food your pet eats, would be great things that would be able to let the veterinarian know what's going on at home.

It's really important. Not only does it make them look better and feel better, but it may undercover some medical conditions and it may prevent medical conditions from occurring.

Is cancer in dogs common?

Unfortunately, I think it is common, but I think the reason why it's common is that our dogs live a long time. Tux here is 15 years old due to good care by his owners and good veterinary care as well.
