What are the symptoms dogs have if they have worms?

In: Dogs (Canines) [Edit categories]

Answer:

Some times there are no symptoms. Some times they may lose weight or appetite. Other times you will see parts of worms or whole worms in the dog's stool.

If you suspect worms at all, or aren't otherwise giving the dog regular medicine for heartworms or other worm infections, take your dog to the vet for an exam and deworming.

Dogs should be dewormed routinely if you live in an area prone to worm infections and/or have children.

Also, almost all dogs should be given a regular flea and heartworm medication (usually monthly).
