Many pet owners ask their veterinary professionals, Can humans get worms from dogs?” The answer is yes — we can absolutely get intestinal parasites from our dogs or cats. Keeping your dog and its environment free of fleas is a good way of preventing the Dipylidium caninum tapeworm from getting to your dog. In most cases, a tapeworm infection will not cause serious harm to your dog. A large number of tapeworms in a dog can however lead to weight loss and debilitation. You may be able to see white segments coming out of your dog or being present in its faeces.
In addition, not all species of tapeworm with the dog as the final host have sheep as the intermediate host and eggs of all species of Taenia are very similar morphologically. There are also separate information sheets on roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms and heartworms that will provide you with more details. There are several types of internal parasites that cause problems in dogs.
The medicine gets soaked into your pets skin and goes to work instantly. It goes directly into your pets circulatory system and any parasite that ingests your pets blood will cause death to any parasite that ingests it. As long as taken per the directions these treatments should not affect your pets health. Start with the head or neck first so the fleas don't jump upwards onto the dogs face.

Generally speaking, your pet can become infected with a tapeworm by ingesting fleas, rabbits, rodents and other forms of uncooked meat. While tapeworms can decrease your pet's nutritional intake, they typically don't pose a serious health threat to adult dogs and cats. Tapeworms can be difficult to diagnose because tapeworm segments are only passed intermittently. But keep in mind, a fecal test won't always show that your pet has tapeworms. These cysts are the infective stage for the dog.
My husband purchased and gave her a single dose of Fenbendazole only to find that it is not effective against that type of tapeworm. My dog is lactating and in the poo i can see flat ribbon like worms.. what shud i do.. whether i can do deworming… whether it wl affect the puppies. Worming with virbantel from 1800petmeds should not affect puppies, and should take care of these tapeworms. The first i listed is more for worms & internal parasite treatment (vethical) hope all works out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fitKUqNO1SM
