Any Q

Hookworms in dogs are contagious to other dogs as well as humans. They are called a zoonotic parasite for this very reason. If your dog has been diagnosed with hookworms, you should take certain precautions to ensure that you don't also become infected. 14 апр. 2022 г.


Can a dog with worms pass it to another dog?

Intestinal parasites are contagious to other animals and humans. Because they primarily inhabit the GI tract, larvae, or eggs, are passed in the feces. The infective larvae then inhabit the soil around the feces, leaving other dogs, and children, vulnerable to accidental ingestion and subsequent infection.

How do hookworms spread from dog to dog?

Larvae (young hookworms) that hatch from hookworm eggs live in the soil. These larvae can infect your dog simply through contact and penetration of the skin and through the dog eating the larvae when they ingest dirt or during their routine licking (cleaning).
