How do I protect my dog against worms?

Protecting your dog against worms is very important. There are many different types of worms are out there. Some worms the puppy will get from mother while it's still in the uterus. Other types of worms your dog can get while nursing on the mother. But many of these worms, later on in life, are going to be caught by an oral fecal transmission. So keep your dog away from other dogs' poop. It's not a good idea for them to be getting into that, and you should take your pet to the veterinarian to make sure that it's getting a monthly deworming medication. This is both safer for your pet and your family.
