Like most people, you’d probably rather not think about intestinal parasites, much less talk about them.

And yet, here you are, trying to find out all you can about the major types of canine intestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms), and how to prevent them.

Hats off to you!

This knowledge will not only help you protect your dog, but also yourself, your family and your environment – especially since some of the intestinal parasites that infect dogs can also infect humans (what is known as zoonosis).
