Worms in dogs are contagious to both other dogs and humans. Here's how to keep you, your dog, and your community safe from these intestinal parasites.

Dogs typically get tapeworms from either eating a flea found on their body or in their environment or when they ingest a small mammal or bird that was infested with fleas.
Tapeworms can infest humans, but due to the fact that a human must also ingest an infested flea to enable transmission, it is less common.

There are two types of roundworms that infest our pet dogs. Toxocara canis is the more common parasite of the two and is also the most common species to affect humans.
Roundworms are especially dangerous to humans as they are a major cause of permanent blindness in people. Contact with contaminated soil or dog f***s can result in human ingestion and infection. Roundworm eggs may accumulate in significant numbers in the soil where pets deposit f***s. Once infected, the worms can cause eye, lung, heart and neurologic signs in people.

There are four ways that a dog will typically be infected by hookworms:
-A dog can easily ingest hookworm larvae when grooming their feet, or by sniffing at contaminated f***s or soil.
-Unborn puppies can contract hookworms via the mother's placenta in utero.
-Once born, puppies can contract hookworms through the milk of an infected -mother.
-Larvae can pe*****te your dog's skin leading to infection.
Humans may become infested with hookworms if they ingest or inhale the infective eggs or larvae. Humans may also get hookworms through their skin if they walk in contaminated areas without shoes.

Your dog may get whipworms, Trichuras vulpis, from ingesting infective eggs. The eggs can survive for extremely long periods of time, often up to five years, in an appropriate environment. Whipworm eggs are often found in the soil where dogs have been.
Humans may also be affected by whipworms, but it is currently unknown if the dog whipworm can establish a patent infestation in humans. Humans have their own whipworm, Trichuris trichiura, which is typically transmitted via consuming contaminated fruits and vegetables.

Because intestinal worms are dangerous for both your family and your dog, it is essential to maintain all dogs on effective parasite prevention medication. Ask us to set aside a dewormer for your dog today!

Did you know? When we recommend annual heartworm testing for your dog it not only tests to see if your pet has been infected with heartworms but also tests for 3 tick borne diseases - Heartworm, Lyme, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia.
Sadly, we've had many Lyme positive tests in clinic this year already.

These are all preventable vector-borne diseases that can be deadly if left undetected and untreated.

Dogs can pick up ticks while outside and bring them into the home, putting dogs and humans at risk. You can protect your dog from Lyme disease by having them on a year-round parasite preventative that protects against ticks. You can also talk to your veterinarian about a Lyme disease vaccine that protects your dog from getting the disease in the first place. Your veterinarian can advise if the vaccine is a good fit for your dog based on their lifestyle.
