After dog worms, should I wash toys and bed or throw them out?

Just was the sheets and blankets, as well as Kola's toys and bed. You do not need to throw them away. Vacuum the floors and carpets as well as the couches. Use gloves to pick up his poop, and throw it away in a plastic bag in the trash can outside. Just practice good hygiene and everything will be fine.

Hello, sorry to hear about your pups. You can cuddle your dogs and allow them to hang out with you as long as they are not defecating in unwanted areas. They will typically shed worms and eggs on their feces for up to 5-7 days after deworming. Precautions to take at home include cleaning any feces immediately after they poop and washing your hands immediately after picking up after them. Most common route of infection to humans is through fecal to oral, so by thoroughly washing your hands after cleaning for them, you will reduce your chanced of becoming infected. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Don't worry about it. You can give your babies their toys back. It is unlikely that they are still contaminated with worm eggs able to hatch. The eggs do not infect the kitty, but the larvae that hatch. Make sure you also do regular flea control as you can always bring a flea with you from outside. Don't panic ;D !

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!

You can clean/disinfect hher toys, bedding , etc., however it will likely not make much of a difference as most of the germs that cause kennel cough are ubiquitous, ie everywhere. Kennel cough is self-limiting, so will likely subside within the next two to three weeks. She will be fine, even if you do not disinfect everything.

Oh my. Poor Gunner. If these are small like white rice then they are likely tapeworms. Tapeworms are not infective once they are dried up; therefore, you can use normal everyday cleaner to clean the area free of the worms. No special requirements needed, since they are not infected once they are dried up. If you do see a live worm, then wear gloves to remove them from the area, then spray as needed. Good hygiene is the best way to prevent infecting yourself, which requires you actually ingesting a live worm. A tapeworm medication (i.e. Praziquantel, Drontal) should be started right away to rid the worms in Gunner's system. Also a flea preventative (i..e Bravecto, Nexgard, Trifexis-heartworm and flea) is needed to prevent re-infection, since Tapeworms come from ingesting a flea. If the worms are Roundworms, then the same recommendations apply, except Roundworms look like angel hair pasta and don't come from fleas, but instead from the environment and in-utero infection is common. These are treated with a broad spectrum dewormer (i.e. Pyrantel Palmoate or Fenbendazole). I hope you can get Gunner free of his parasites soon and get him on the right track towards healthy living. Take care of yourself and especially any young children that may come into contact with Gunner, as they like to stick their hands in their mouths without washing first (typical way people get infected with worms). Best wishes.

As long as he's been dewormed and you clean up after Peso you should be fine having him in a small area of the house. I would wash your children's hands after touching him also. Children get intestinal parasites when there is poor cleanliness. Continue with his routine deworming also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Peso.
