As for picking coccidia up at a dog park, honestly I don't see that happening since most healthy dogs do not get it. It is the puppies and immuno-suppressed that are most at risk. And, who is going to allow their pups to ingest the feces of other animals? The only way that will happen is if they let them run unattended. |
That's just it, the adult dogs can pick it up and bring it home and it might never show up in them. And no one allows their puppies to ingest the feces of other animals, but they do it anyway. They can get it from digging in the dirt. they can survive anything.
Parasites are not exclusive to poor breeders. They are every where. And I do not agree that the poorly bred dogs outweigh the the well bred ones. It's like with bad children. No one pays any attention to the good ones.
