Yes, if the dog is treated against heartworms. Not a good idea otherwise

  I think you mean other types of worms.
  • pvaldes 4y ago
    Not, because treatment against heartworms is the standard, and will kill all other roundworms also

      Please cite some sources for this. I highly doubt it treats all, like whip worm.

        Ok, I will change my previous phrase then "Yes, if the dog is treated against roundworms and other inner parasites. Not a good idea otherwise"

  Heartworms are transmitted via mosquitoes, like malaria. Heartworms also very rarely establish themselves in humans, as they are not adapted to our circulatory system. Certain roundworms and hookworms, on the other hand are fecal-born and will cross-infect into humans.
