“Worms can be picked up from your dog's stool and contaminated soil. They can infect other dogs, and in some cases, people can contract certain types of worms. That's one reason it's important that you always carefully clean up your dog's stool.”
How are worms transmitted to other dogs?
Infected dogs shed the microscopic roundworm eggs in their feces. Other dogs may become infected by sniffing or licking infected feces. Roundworm eggs can also be spread by other animals such as rodents, earthworms, cockroaches, and birds.
Can dogs pass worms to other dogs through saliva?
While worms do not pass through canine saliva, other conditions do. One virus that spreads through dog saliva is rabies.
