dog worms

[salsa21]

My sons gf came round to our house with her dog who she later told us hasnt been wormed which annoyed me very much as we spend alot of money on our dogs for injections, fleas, worms, and also the fact ,my daughter an her 3 year old son live with me. The dog has used our garden to do its business and now we need to no if theres any product that can be sprayed on the grass which could kill the worms if any?? Other then getting the whole garden tunred over and turfed.

Whoa! Provided you (or she) picked up the poo, then there should be no problem. Although it is not ideal it is only a problem if your child or dog eats the poo with the worms in it. Unless you saw evidence of worms in the poo, although the dog has not been wormed it may not have them anyway.

Recommend she gets it wormed every six months. If cost is a problem perhaps you could offer to help her for your own peace of mind - certainly cheaper than getting your garden returfed.

hey lankeela, yeah picked it up just very annoyed that she hadnt told us her dog hadnt been wormed until it had been with us all night, cost is no issue but will not let it round until wormed. thanks for your reply
