How to check for external parasites in your dog

Finally, winter has passed, and I can finally take my dog out to have fun. However, when dogs go out, they cannot avoid getting dirty things and even parasites. It would be unsafe if we return home and find the parasites on ourselves. Therefore, we need to take the initiative to detect parasites on dogs in time and deal with them. So how to check for external parasites in dogs?
White and light-colored dogs:
It is actually easy to find external parasites in white dogs, because the food of external parasites is the dog's blood, and they will leave small black spots on the dog's body after they are excreted. If you comb your dog's hair, it's easy to spot. If you want to distinguish whether it's dirt on your dog's body or if it's got bugs, it's easy to do. Just put the little black dots in the water, melt them and see if there are any. Blood color will do. Bloody stools are definitely the result of external parasites, so you should deworm your dog as soon as possible.
Dark and black dogs:
As for dark-colored and black dogs, it is not easy to find ectoparasites in their feces. There is a small tool called a flea comb, which is a very dense and very fine comb. It cannot comb out the external parasites on the dog, but it can comb out the poop mentioned above. You only need to comb it out and tap it on a white paper, and then identify it. The method is still the same as above.
Parasites are a major enemy of pets. Only by having a deep understanding and correct popular science knowledge can we protect our pets.
