Question by Nikki: My dog has roundworms and hookworms, how do i clean my house?
I got a new puppy two weeks ago. I took her to the vet and found she had both type of worms. She will be taking a new medication for it starting monday night. She has had a few accients in the house, and I always clean them properly. I wash my hands before cooking and such, but I am worried the larva live sin my carpet or oher places in my house. She goes poddy in the front yard until she is clear and can go in the backyard with my older dog as I do not want him to get it. how do I keep my house clean? How likely is it that me or my son can catch this? very scary stuff. never had to deal with this before. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

If you have cleaned up after the dog, there is no risk in your house. The worms live outside in the soil not in carpets. After they leave the body of the dog, if not in the ground outside, they will die.

Heartworms are literally worms that live in your dogs heart. They aren’t the same and you’ll need a specific heartworm prevention and also the dog will need to be tested.

Question by ju_li_et_10_4: How can a dog that has been on Interceptor FAITHFULLY contract roundworms?
Manufactured by Novartis, they claim this product prevents heartworm disease, controls adult hookworn infection and removes and controls adult roundworms and whipworms in dogs and puppies.

All of our dogs have been on Interceptor for years, and have never had a problem with anything accept the ocassional bout with tapeworms.

What should I do? If this product is supposed to protect my dog, and it didn’t……. do I start with the company or who?

it’s says control! not 100% prevent and treat. but semantics aside, it may not be dog roundworm eggs they see, or may be just 1-2 eggs found (meaning an unprotected dog would have had 100 eggs) or a recent exposure.

…Just like you can be on birth CONTROL and still get pregnant, nothing is 100%
