Pets, especially cats, get toxoplasmosis primarily from the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. Cats are the definitive hosts for this parasite and can become infected by ingesting contaminated prey, raw meat, or anything else that carries the parasite. Once infected, cats can shed the parasite’s eggs (oocysts) in their feces. These oocysts can then contaminate the environment, where other animals or humans might come into contact with them.
Dogs and other pets can also become infected through similar routes, such as eating contaminated food or coming into contact with infected feces. Although dogs are less likely to shed the parasite in their feces, they can still harbor the parasite in their tissues.
Factors that increase the risk of toxoplasmosis in pets include outdoor roaming, hunting behaviors, and feeding pets raw or undercooked meat. Indoor cats that are kept on commercial diets and have limited exposure to potential sources of infection are at a lower risk.
Good hygiene practices, such as washing hands after handling pet waste, and keeping your pet’s living area clean can help reduce the risk of transmission. Regular veterinary check-ups and avoiding feeding pets raw meat are also crucial preventive measures.
