A total of 849 cases, including 488(57.5%) and 361 (42.5%) dogs and cats respectively, were in account to espy the clinical conditions. Season, age, sex, and breed were the parameters to analyze the prevalence of those clinical conditions.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>From the study, it was found that the endoparasitic infestation was highly frequent in both dog and cat (55% in dogs and 59% in cats). The endoparasitic infestation was highly preva­lent in cats (91.53%) significantly (<em>p </em>= 0.003), which were ≤1 year of age. On the other hand, the ectoparasitic infestation was found prevalent significantly (<em>p </em>= 0.06) in the winter than any season and dewormed dogs (<em>p </em>= 0.03). Prevalence of canine parvovirus infection in dogs and wound in cats were substantially higher (<em>p </em>< 0.001 and <em>p</em>=0.05 respectively) in the winter whereas the prev­alence of myiasis in dogs was prominent in the rainy season significantly (<em>p = </em>0.01). The mostly used antibiotic was ceftriaxone (9.5% in dogs and 4% in cats).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Different endoparasitic, ectoparasitic, and infectious diseases found prone to infect pet animals, mainly dogs, and cats. By maintaining proper anthelmintics and vaccine shots may act as a prevention procedure to those infections.</p> <p>J. Adv. Vet. Anim.
