Canine and feline cardiorespiratory parasites are of utmost relevance in veterinary medicine. Key epizootiological information on major pet metastrongyloids, i.e.,  Angiostrongylus vasorum  and  Crenosoma vulpis  infecting dogs, and  Aelurostrongylus abstrusus  and  Troglostrongylus brevior  infecting cats, is missing from Austria. This study investigated their occurrence in 1320 gastropods collected in the Austrian provinces of Styria, Burgenland, Lower Austria, and in metropolitan Vienna. Metastrongyloid larvae were microscopically detected in 25 samples, and sequence analysis confirmed the presence of metastrongyloids in nine samples, i.e.,  A. vasorum  in one slug ( Arion vulgaris ) (0.07%),  C. vulpis  in five slugs (one  Limax maximus  and four  A. vulgaris ) (0.4%),  A. abstrusus  in two  A. vulgaris  (0.17%), and the hedgehog lungworm  Crenosoma striatum  was detected in one  A. vulgaris . The present study confirms the enzooticity of major cardiorespiratory nematodes in Austria and that canine and feline populations are at risk of infection.
