Any Q

A tapeworm body consists of multiple parts, or segments, each with its own reproductive organs. Tapeworm infections are usually diagnosed by finding segments—which appear as small white worms that may look like grains of rice or seeds—on the rear end of your dog, in your dog's feces, or where your dog lives and sleeps.


How do you treat white worms in dogs poop?

Many deworming drugs are safe and effective. They include fenbendazole, milbemycin, moxidectin, piperazine, and pyrantel. Your vet will give your dog one to three doses at first, which will kill the adult worms.

What do I do if I see worms in my puppies poop?

If you see worms in your dog's stools, contact your veterinarian. However, there are several other types of intestinal parasites that can infect and affect your dog that are not seen with the naked eye.

Is it normal for puppies to have worms?

A: Not all puppies, but it is very common for puppies to have roundworms or hookworms, either passed in utero or through a mothers' milk. Because worm infection is so common, we normally deworm puppies just to be safe.
