【Expert answer】
Any Q

Are hookworms contagious for humans or other pets? Hookworms are a zoonotic disease, which means they can be spread between animals and humans. Your dog cannot transmit hookworms to you directly, but hookworm eggs can pass through your dog's feces and into the environment.


Can dogs pass hookworms to other dogs?

They are not immediately able to infect another dog, but after a few days, these eggs mature and can infect another dog if they are eaten. Hookworm infection causes disease through the worms eating and sucking blood from the dog's intestine.

Can a dog get worms from being around another dog with worms?

“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 hookworms transmitted between dogs?

A dog may become infected when it inadvertently swallows hookworm larvae, often by grooming its feet, or from sniffing feces or contaminated soil. Most larvae that are ingested will move to the intestinal tract to complete their life cycle.
