Any Q

NO! People may believe because worms are usually harmless in humans, that they're probably not too dangerous in dogs either and that they can rid themselves of them, but this is not the case. Dogs cannot get rid of worms themselves.


What happens if tapeworms go untreated in dogs?

If left untreated, tapeworms can also be quite dangerous to your dog. These segmented parasites make themselves comfortable inside your dog's intestines. These nasty little worms can reproduce in each of their segments, causing more worms and more strife for your dog.

Can tapeworms kill a dog if not treated?

Tapeworms are incredibly common in all species, with signs of infection ranging from none, to mild intestinal upset, to liver damage, to cyst formation in the brain, and even death! Thankfully, there are only a few to worry about in cats and dogs, and they aren't usually too dangerous to them.

Will tapeworms go away without treatment?

Some people with tapeworm infections never need treatment, for the tapeworm exits the body on its own. Others don't realize they have it because they have no symptoms. However, if you're diagnosed with intestinal tapeworm infection, medication will likely be prescribed to get rid of it.

How long does it take for a dog to get over tapeworms?
