Question by Whitney H: How can I get rid of fleas and tapeworms on my dog?
I put Frontline on her every 3 weeks, but I have been seeing some flea dirt in her bed. I also noticed she has tapeworms so obviously she has fleas. What else can I do to get rid of the fleas?

Also- is there a good tapeworm medication I can get over the counter, like at Petsmart?

Perhaps it’s time to get serious and take the dog to the bleeding VET?
(unless you wanna harvest the tapeworm and sell them to the over weight females, of course)

Answer by crissyk24
Fleas do cause worms in dogs. I don’t think they are tape worms though, they are the little round tiny worms that look like rice.

Question by TropyWife: Noticed a tapeworm in my dogs feces this AM. He does not have fleas and has always been on Frontline. My other
dog does not have them. They are both indoor shih-tzus and only go out to poop. I will take to Vet on Monday. How do dogs get tapeworms w/no fleas on them?
Can their owners get tapeworms from dog?

Just because there is not a flea at that time, doesn’t mean there never has been. The fleas can still bite your dog, but are then killed by the drug.

I don’t believe you can get the worms from them, but I’m not positive on that.
