I would drop off a stool sample every month until the stool is clear for 3 months. Then do a 6 month check, then yearly. Hookworms can contaminate your yard, so pick up the droppings right away. Roundworms are fairly easy to rid..tapes come from swallowing a flea..so keep flea under control. Wash bedding..for now I would use old towels until they are worm free..vacuum the carpets and all should be fine soon...worms cause no long lasting effects I know about unless it is hooks and not treated. It is important for a breeder to treat their dogs regular, along with the area and prevent fleas...keeping them on heartworm prevention will keep most worms under control except tapes. Wash the kids hands..some dog parasites canbe transferred to humans.
