How to tell if your dog has worms

Worms are one of the most common issues impacting dogs but can often be difficult to notice until your dog s health is already at risk. The more common worms infecting dogs are heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and whipworms. Here are the top 8 things to look for that may indicate your dog has worms.

1. Coughing: Increased coughing is a known symptom of some worms, particularly advanced cases of heartworm.

2. Worms or eggs in the faeces: While not all kinds of worms are visible to the naked eye, many are so it is worthwhile having a look.

3. Worms in vomit: Same as above, it is worthwhile having a look.

4. Scratching bottom along floor: Dogs often do this when itchy or irritated. While this can be caused by various things, worms is a possibility.

5. Bloated stomach: This is a more common side effect noticeable in puppies.

6. Food thieves: Worms steal food from their hosts so one noticeable symptom may be that your dog has lost weight or appears to be much hungrier than usual.

7. Diarrhoea: This can be another symptom of worms, particularly if the diarrhoea has blood in it.

8. Dull coat or loss of hair: While it varies between different breeds, a good sign of a healthy dog is a thick and shiny coat of hair. If you notice it appearing more dull or dry or significantly thinning out, this may be a symptom of worms.

If you think your dog has worms, speak to your vet to seek immediate treatment. Remember, prevention is better than a cure so make sure your pooch is up to date with his or her worming tablets!
