∙ 11y agoWell,
according to the Doctor specific pets cannot get pinworms. Dogs and cats basically. Take a look of what I found.
Pets like cats and dogs are not part of the threadworm's life cycle. Threadworms only live in human hosts. Pets can play a part in spreading the eggs of threadworms if an infected person pats them or the eggs become attached to their fur or hair. Do not forget to wash you pet after you have begun a worm treatment in order to reduce the chance of reinfection.
