How to keep my dog safe from worms on a property with horse manure?

Great question! I would get Ginger an OTC treatment now. You can give her Panacur, it's an excellent dewormer that kills roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. It's a three day course of treatment and you will need to give her a second round of it two weeks after the first to kill all the worms. She should then be dewormed monthly until six months of age, and then every three months thereafter. I hope this helps :-)

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Midnite. Start by picking up the feces in the yard as soon as she goes. Then she should be on a year-round heartworm prevention that includes medication for intestinal parasites. This provides her with consistent monthly deworming. Finally, all pets in the home need to be treated. I hope this information helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like Koga has roundworms. The eggs of intestinal parasites are shed in his poop not from his fur. You need to clean up the stools as soon as he goes to prevent contamination of the environment. Your son should be ok as long as he isn’t eating the poop. Just make sure to wash his hands after he plays with the puppy or before he eats. You will need to treat Koga twice (3 weeks apart) and the you should be all set. Good luck and kisses to Koga!

It is safe to treat Mitzi monthly, but at first, it's best to treat her every two weeks. This is due to the lifecycle of the worms. A deworming treatment kills the adult worms present, but not the eggs. So these eggs hatch after two to three weeks, and more worms come out. That's why you have to treat every two weeks at first. The first treatment kills the adult worms, and the second kills the worms who had not yet hatched at the time of the first treatment. Give Mitzi a deworming treatment now, another in two weeks, then another two weeks after that. That should kill all the worms. Then deworm her every three months.

I certainly understand being concerned! Yes, it is possible that your grandson can get roundworms, but there are measures you can take to prevent that from happening. The eggs are found in the feces, and humans can get them from contact with infected feces and contaminated soil. If Stella has had some accidents in the house, there could be fecal matter in the carpet, and the eggs can survive for some time in the environment. I would make sure to clean up any poop in the home and yard, and disinfect the carpet where she had accidents. Practice proper hygiene, always using gloves to clean up any feces and washing your hands thoroughly afterwards. If you practice good hygiene, don't allow your grandson to touch the feces or ingest contaminated soil, and disinfect the carpet, that will significantly decrease any risk of transmission. I hope this helps!

Pretty severe if you can see worms in Emma's stool. I recommend giving her Panacur, which is an OTC deworming treatment. She will need another deworming treatment two weeks after the first treatment to make sure all the worms are killed. She will need deworming treatments every three months after that.

This is a great question! Yes, you should clean up the feces from the yard and dispose of it properly to help reduce spread of parasites. Feces left in the yard can lead to spread of microscopic parasites or parasite eggs that can infect other animals and sometimes people. Make sure you practice proper hygiene and wash your hands after handling feces to help keep yourself and your dogs safe.
