Question by .: Do I really need to de-worm my other dog even though he has no evidence of tapeworms?
One of my dogs has tapeworm (found the moving “rice” in his stool.) When I called the vet to set an appointment, they wanted me to bring my other dog in for the medication as well (and charge another office visit…)

The dog with worms was recently adopted from the pound and was a stray prior to that. I haven’t seen any fleas in the house, but I treated the house just to be sure. My other dog does not ever eat the infected dog’s feces or lick his behind. And they are both on revolution to prevent fleas.

I feel like I shouldn’t have to treat my dog for something he may not even have. Can I just wait to see if the evidence of tapeworm appears in that dog? Or is it really necessary to just give them both the meds?

Does the pill make the dog not as hungry?
well my vet gave me the pill to give to him. it was called Dontral.

Now that winter is coming and I’m not using monthly tic/flea/worm meds I asked the vet how often, if at all, I should be de-worming. She said to do it monthly unless finances were an issue. (I will spend what I need to for my dog so I felt vaguely insulted) I had to come back with my dog to have her weighed for the meds.

When I went back my normal vet was there and asked why I was de-worming? He said it is unnecessary unless she was eating dead animals at the park and stuff all the time.

He said I only need to de-worm if she has worms
I trust my vet who said don’t worry unless it’s a problem, but that was conflicting from what the other vet in his office said.

Just wondering what others do
I live in Alberta Canada and have a 10 month old basset
