    20. The Scoop on Poop; the Annual Parasite Check

    20. The Scoop on Poop; the Annual Parasite Check

    There’s a movement afoot. No, really. Look down. That movement (the one you nearly stepped in) is flush with information about your dog’s internal health. To a dog, feces is a social media post. It contains loads of muck about the owner for sharing around the community. 

    Some of it is useful, and some of it is, well … crap. But like scams, phishing posts, and spam, it also contains parasites that can be harmful and transmissible to humans. This movement (and this podcast) is about annual poop checks to keep your pet healthy. When it comes to usable data, never waste a good dump!
