How Can I Prevent My Dog From Getting Intestinal Parasites?
Gastro-intestinal parasites, such as tapeworms or hookworms, can drain a dog of vitality and cause many other problems. There are three ways to prevent them from being a problem for your dog that involve his environment, other places you take him, and his regular veterinary treatment.
Your Dog's Environment
Parasites thrive in cool, shady, and moist environments, so clean and warm, light-filled environments are best for your dog.
Inside your house, you should launder your pet's bedding frequently, and clean the feeding/water bowls daily.
