Unlike worms, it is not visible in the feces, as it is a microscopic, single-celled organism similar to bacteria. The disease is most commonly transmitted through contaminated food or water that carries giardia cysts. These cysts are robust and infective stages that can later mature into trophozoites. A rise in the population of trophozoites may lead to severe intestinal damage.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Giardia in dogs is transmitted in one of the following ways:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Eating food contaminated with giardia cysts<\/li>\n<li>Drinking feces-contaminated water<\/li>\n<li>Grooming a dog\u2019s fur with traces of feces containing giardia<\/li>\n<li>Sniffing the hind legs of an infected dog or cat, which may have giardia cysts<\/li>\n<li>Licking on surfaces contaminated with giardia cysts<\/li>\n<li>Playing in the ground or soil with the feces of an infected animal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What are the Symptoms of Giardia in dogs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is important for <span style=\"color: #dd3333;\"><a style=\"color: #dd3333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canadapetcare.com\/blog\/what-kind-of-pet-parent-are-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>pet parents<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to know the common symptoms of the infection, as it can help them seek timely veterinary treatment as necessary.
