Dogs Get Worms. These Are Not The Fishing Kind Or The Brown
Ones Found In Super Soil. These Worms Are Parasites
And Live Inside Your Dog. They Feed Off Your Dog And
Can Make Them Very Sick.
Some Worms Are Zoonotic And Can Be Transferred To Humans.
Be Especially Mindful Of Worms If Your Dog Is Ever Around Children.
Children Often Will Allow A Dog Or Puppy To Lick Their Face And If
Your Dog Has Worms, Has Recently Licked Themselves & Then "Kissed"
A Human, The Worms Will Transfer.
Worms In Humans Can Cause Blindness, Fatigue, Immune Dysfunction & Anemia.
One Of The Most Commom Dog Worms Is The Roundworm. These Creatures
Live In The Intestines. If Not Treated, They Can Cause Pot-Belly And
Stunt The Growth Of A Puppy.
These Worms Look Like Spaghetti And Sometimes
Show Up In Feces Or Vomit.
If You See These Spaghetti Roundworms, Don't Touch Them.
Put A Baggie Around Your Hand, Pick Them Up, Throw Them Away.
Sterilize The Area With Some Bleach Water.
Another Type Of Worm Is The Hookworm. These Parasites Set Up House In
Your Dog's Small Intestine & Feed Off Their Blood.
Hookworms Can Be Caught From Contaminated Soil,
Not Just Infected Dog Feces.
These Blood Suckers, If Not Treated, Can Cause Anemia,
Intestinal Bleeding, Diarrhea & Severe Abdominal Pain.
Hookworms Are Zoonotic And Are Commonly Referred To As:
"Cutaneous Larva Migrans." In Other Words, These Worms
Creep/Migrate Just Under The Skin Causing All Sorts Of Problems.
Tapeworms Are Another Intestinal Parasite. Your Dog Picks Up
These Body Buddies From Eating Fleas Who Are Carriers Of This Worm.
Dogs Who Live In Rural Areas & Hunt Often Eat Wildlife Who Have
Tapeworm Carrier Fleas.
Be Sure Your Dog Is Flea Free To Aid In Prevention.
Tapeworms Look Like Rice & Show Themselves In Your Dogs Feces And Around The Anus.
Whipworms Are Another Parasite That Can Infest Your Dog
And Can Only Be Seen Under A Microscope.
These Hearty Worms Require Special Treatment.
The Regular Drontal Dewormer Will Not Kill These Fellas.
Whipworms Can Cause Severe Diarrhea, Flatulence, Weight Loss
And A Dog Who Generally Doesn't Feel Well.

Heartworms Are Another Real Threat For Your Canine Family Member.
These Killer Worms Are Carried Around By Mosquitos.
If Your Dog Is Bit By A Carrier Mosquito, Is Infected With
Heartworms & Not Treated, Death Is Imminent.

The Bottom Line Is Worms Are Treatable & Preventable.
All Puppies Need To Be Dewormed Several Times Over A Few Months
To Kill All The Parasites.
All Adult Dogs Need A Worm Fecal Test At Least Once A Year At Their
Annual Physical Check-Up. If You suspect Your Dog Has Worms, Get A Fecal Test.
A Typical Cost For This Is About $15-20. If Positive, Dog Worm Treatment Is About $20.
