Default Types of Worms

Unless your dog catches rodents, it is not likely to have tapeworms, but roundworms, hookworms, bloodworms, etc; Strongid T will remove these. If tapeworms are present, you are more likely to find small segments tangled in the dog's hair around its anus; you can see them move if you look closely. Tapeworms must be treated with another dewormer that you can get from the veterinarian.

The worms that are expelled with feces are usually roundworms, and if an animal has many, it can be quite disgusting to see. I have wormed small puppies that were not wormed while on their dam, and it was sad to see what their little pot bellies contained. It was also amazing to see them grow, once the parasite-load was removed.
