what kind of worms can you catch from your dog
Dog Whipworms are less common than hookworms or roundworms. They are also transmitted by ingesting contaminated feces and affects both puppies and adult dogs. The parasite can cause severe health problems. The worms attach to a dog's intestinal lining and feed on the host's blood.
Adult dogs and cats get roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms when they eat other wild animals (mice, rabbits, squirrels, etc.) or when they step in an area contaminated with worm eggs. The worms enter their bodies when they lick their feet off to clean themselves.
