The veterinarian is the professional responsible for the diagnosis, control, and prevention of toxocariosis in pets that act as definitive hosts of the parasite (dogs and cats), as well as in domestic species that can act as paratenic hosts (chickens, pigs, beef, rabbits, etc.).

In addition, highly trained laboratory personnel are required for the parasitological, immunological, and molecular diagnosis of toxocariosis in animals and humans.
