In the UK, ''Uncinaria stenocephala'' is commonly found in greyhounds, hounds, sheepdogs and other country dogs, but is relatively non-pathogenic. It is a plug-feeder, causing a protein-losing enteropathy. Heavy infections leads to intermittent diarrhoea, causing reduced growth-rate.

''Ancylostoma caninum'' is found rarely in Britain, but is a major pathogen of dogs in many warmer regions of the world. It may be brought into the UK with dogs entering from abroad. ''A. caninum'' is an avid blood-sucker, so heavy infections lead to severe anaemia, especially in unweaned pups.
