YES! Absolutely, & even YOU can catch worms from dogs - roundworms especially. Worm eggs are in the dog's feces, are microscopic, and can be inhaled by your dog, or you, and transmitted in this way. So keep your dog AWAY from other dog's feces! They always want to smell other dog's feces, but try not to let that happen! If you handle any dog feces then be sure to THOROUGHLY wash your hands, immediately! If you fear that your dog may have worms then call your vet and find out how much they charge to test for worms. My vet only charges $30, so that's not bad at all. Worms, if left untreated, can eventually kill the dog!

Well if you think of this ,the dog that bit the dog should get roundworms if it is a big enough bite, if it is a smaller bite the chances are that the dog will not get roundworms.

It depends on the type of worms. Dogs often get hookworms, roundworms or whipworms from eating the eggs on the ground left there by other dogs.

Dogs that live together are likely to give worms to each other.

The route of infection depends on the type of worm but, certainly, if two dogs are living together it is easy for infections to pass from one to the other.

If the container holding the dog food is clean and the food is uncontaminated (being stored in hygenic conditions), then the answer is no.
