You can't visually tell the difference between hookworms and roundworms. Thankfully, treatment is similar. You can use an OTC dewormer like the one linked below. Make sure to follow the label directions and repeat in 3-4 weeks to completely clear the worms. https://www.petsmart.com/dog/dental-care-and-wellness/treatments/sentry-worm-x-plus-7-way-broad-spectrum-dog-de-wormer---2-pack-13328.html

Sentinel has no tick coverage and does not kill fleas. It only sterilizes the eggs. I always go up a size to be safe as most dogs gain weight but rarely lose weight. It has a good safety margin so using the 25-50 pounds medicine would be best. You will continue to need the Simparica or nexgard with this

Yes this should be fine and shouldn't cause him any harm. I just wouldn't give them on the same day. You will need to deworm today and repeat it in 3 weeks to help get ride of the hookworms. I would then have your vet check a stool lsample to ensure they are gone. I hope this helps!

Hi there. Since you bathe Sophie so often, a topical flea medication/dewormer is probably not a great choice. Based on what you're looking for, I would suggest using Heartgard or Sentinel for heartworms and intestinal parasites, along with Nexgard or Bravecto for fleas and ticks. Vomiting is a common side effect with Trifexis, but is not usually seen with other oral flea/tick or heartworm medications - most dogs tolerate all of the products listed above with no problems :)
