Abstract

The gastrointestinal parasites are pathogens found in pets, causing serious disorders. Due to its incidence and resistance to drugs commonly used many  plants are being studied so they can be used in the treatment of several diseases, such as Mentha crispa. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Mentha crispa comparatively with fenbendazole in the treatment of parasitic infections in dogs and cats. We used four dogs and six cats for the treatment with fenbendazole and six dogs and five cats for Mentha crispa. As a result, both the extract of Mentha crispa and fenbendazole were effective after the first administration against the parasitc infections found in the dogs, except for Giardia sp, however, it was effective against this species after the second administration. For cats, both treatments were not effective against protozoan, the only genre of parasite found in these animals.
