Yes you can.
Avoid intimate contact with the animal ie., don't let the puppy kiss and lick you.
Assuming the puppy has been dewormed for a second time, a good perventive that there will be no 3rd occurance is to alway's clean up the doggie do,do!! When on walks with your puppy never let puppy sniff or eat other animals do,do!!

Alway's provide clean bedding and a clean environment for you puppy.

∙ 15y agoNo. Tapeworms only exist in pets. They cannot be transferred from a pet to a person. :) check out this site I had the same question http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/44005/pet_diseases_that_transfer_to_people.html just a sample from the page Because of immunizations and things like litter boxes and flea treatments, the transfer of pet diseases to humans has greatly been reduced over the years, but there are still some diseases that people can get from pets. And most troubling, when people are infected by their pet, they usually don't know it.

∙ 13y agoDefinitely!
Echinococcus granulosus
This is also known as 'Sheep Herder's Disease.' If a dog eats food with the larvae in it (i.e. sheep), the larvae hatch inside the dog and lay eggs. The human can then pet the dog or come into contact with the dog's feces and if they do not wash their hands properly can ingest the eggs and hatch inside of their gastrointestinal tract. These larvae can actually migrate to the liver and form a cyst known as the 'hyatid cyst'. Usually these cysts are asymptomatic but occasionally they can cause compression symptoms in the abdomen due to mass effect.

∙ 12y agoYes, it can be transmitted from one dog to another.As this can be very damaging to a dogs health, so best to get your dog to the vet, who will provide medicine for your dog which will deal with the matter and keep your dog healthy.

∙ 11y agoNo - tape worms are transmitted through infected fleas. When immature tape worms are inside the fleas, they go through at least one stage of development.
However, if one dog has fleas that are infested with tape worms, it is possible for those fleas to jump off one dog and onto the next. When the second dog ingests the fleas (generally while biting at the irritated skin), the second dog can become infested with tape worms as well.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, the canine tapeworms are not infectious to humans. Humans have their own tapeworms that cycle through cows or pigs; they have been eradicated in the United States.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, especially childen if they are around dog feces. Tapeworm medicine is very inexpensive at the vet, don't mess with store sold ones, it only takes about 3-4 pills and that's it.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, most commonly if they share the same yard or food/water. The feces carry the worms and are transferred through contact.

Puppy wormed one week ago is it normal for small white worms to be present but no fecal matter?
You never mentioned what kind of worms your dog was treated. For hook and round worms an over the counter treatment may be enough. If you go to the vet they will give your dog Strongid-T, which will take care of the hook and round worms. If you are seeing white worms coming out of your dogs rectum or you see white worms in the fecal matter, your dogs has Tape worms. There is no over the counter treatment that will get rid of Tape worms. You must go to the vet who will give you a little pill to give to your dog. If your dog has tape worms you may also find tiny and I mean tiny little off white, sesame seed looking things in your dogs bedding. These are Tape worms that have crawled out of your dogs rectum and dried up and died. Sometimes this is the only evidence that a dog owner will see and wonder what the heck they are. Now you know.
