Any Q

“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.”


Can worms fall out of dogs?

A tapeworm can grow from 4 to 8 inches long. Chances are you won't see the adult worm. As it grows, though, some of its segments fall off and pass through your dog's poop.

Do dog worms come out on their own?

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 do dog worms look like when they come out?

Roundworms look like spaghetti and may be several inches long. Tapeworms aren't usually seen in dog poop, but their egg sacs, which look like grains of rice, can be found in dog poop or sticking to a dog's behind.

Why did a worm come out of my dog?

Your dog may be infected with roundworms from the time it is born because often the mother passes the worms to the puppy while it is still in her body. Roundworms can also develop in a puppy after it is born when the puppy eats larvated eggs from the environment or drinks worm larvae (young worms) in the mother's milk.
