Symptoms in Pets

Pets are at risk of developing giardiasis since it spreads through unsanitary water and infected feces. Pets may roll around or eat feces containing the parasite or ingest feces they've come in contact with while grooming themselves. While they may be asymptomatic in some cases, they can still transmit the infection to people.

Symptoms in pets are similar to symptoms that appear in humans and can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort.8‘Giardia and Pets.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 26 Feb. 2021, www.cdc.gov/parasites/giardia/prevention-control-pets.html
