Can dogs get infected by brain-eating amoeba?

Yes, dogs can potentially get infected by brain-eating amoeba, although it is rare. These amoebas are typically found in warm freshwater sources and can enter a dog's body through the nose, leading to a serious and often fatal infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). Owners should be cautious when allowing their dogs to swim in warm bodies of water to reduce the risk of infection.
