Fleas are a common problem for cats in Dubai, affecting pets year-round due to the UAE's consistently warm climate.

Helminths are worms that live inside living organisms, including pets, parasitizing them. Helminthiasis, according to statistics, is present in every third dog or cat. Parasites carry a great danger, since they reduce immunity and hit the body of four-legged people hard.
