What Do Dog Worms Look Like And How Do You Get Rid Of Them?

Dogs get 2 main sorts of worms. Round worms are thin and white and about 2 inches long. Tape worms are much longer and generally passed in little segments that look like grains of rice. If you've seen something that looks like spaghetti it must be either a whole or large portion of a tape worm. This suggests that your dog has got a very heavy infestation of worms and needs treating (for his own health and the health of your family). You should take him to the vet if you can and they will give you tablets that will get rid of all the worms very effectively. You can buy worm medicine in pet shops and even supermarkets, but it is not as effective so you would be better to go to the vet who will make sure you get the right treatment and dosage for what sounds like a pretty bad infestation. Either way it's important that you continue to worm him regularly every 3-6 months. Good luck!

There are several types of worms. Best thing is to take the dog and a stool sample to the vet. The vet can then give the dog whatever safe and effective remedy it needs for the type of worms it may have.
