A couple is warning other pet owners about a potentially serious parasite found in dog parks. The parasite, which can be fatal, is transmitted by snails and can be found anywhere dogs encounter freshwater or standing water. The couple's four dogs contracted the parasite after visiting a park.

Further details about the parasite and the couple's experience are available from the source. The park where the dogs contracted the parasite is Congressman Bill Archer Park, and the incident has prompted a warning for pet owners to be aware of the risk.
