If you look at the life cycle of a hookworm you'll see that it's much more likely it came from the environment and not from one's dog food. Marvistavet.com is a website that helps show the life cycle of hookworms and show why it's very unlikely worms came from a dog's food and the same for Giardia too. The chances of a dogs getting worms actually lessen on a raw diet rich in bone, because a raw dogs feces are harder, which is not a parasite friendly environment. Dogs need to be dosed from time to time no matter what they are fed. |
