How do I get rid of a worm infestation in my dog?

How do I prevent my dog from getting worms again?

Topical spot treatments and oral chews are available for monthly dosing of your dog to keep them protected from fleas, mosquitoes, and many types of worms.

Why does my dog keep getting worms even after deworming?

Paralyzed worms pass through the intestinal tract and are passed out in your puppy's poop. This is why you will notice that your puppy poops worms after deworming. This may continue for three days or even longer. Be careful to dispose of your dog's excrement properly to get rid of any worm eggs and larvae.

Why does my dog keep getting round worms?

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.
