Intestinal parasites in canine can cause malnutrition, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and anemia.

all samples were examined for intestinal helminthes and protozoa by direct microscopy, flotation and sedimentation methods.
the overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was (54.16%), 52% in males and 56.52% in females.
the study revealed the presence of two species of parasites detected included Toxocara canis (68%) and Echinococcus granulosis (32%).
