By eating infected food.
Thankfully, no
Yes.
Perhaps you have heard of a pet cat that has had worms. The cat did not get the worms by eating the directly. The hosts for the tapeworm larvae are usually fleas. The host fleas are infested with the tapeworm larvae. When the cat cleans itself, it swallows the fleas. The tapeworm larvae on the fleas change into tiny tapeworms. They then live and grow as parasites in the intestines of the cat. The tapeworms produce eggs and fertilize the with sperm. The fertilized eggs are carried out of the cat's body as waste.

Tapeworms are usually caused by fleas. Fleas carry tapeworm eggs. If the dog is chewing on himself, he is ingesting the fleas, which introduce the tapeworms into his digestive system. You will need a worm medicine specific to tapeworms. Most general dog wormers are not effective. It would be best to take him to the vet. You will also need to treat the fleas.
Fleas can transmit tapeworms to dogs, but not roundworms, hookworms or whipworms.
dogs and cats gett tapeworms from the infected flea they have consumed or have been bitten from
No, bird fleas cannot get into cats. There are different kinds of fleas.
yes
Tapeworms, fleas, leeches, and most viruses, and some bacteria all fall under the label of parasites. Parasites benefit from another organism at that organism's expense.
A few examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles.....
Fleas do NOT become tapeworms. they are entirely two different types of animals, splitting off at the phylum level (Insecta for fleas and platyhelminthes for the cestodas or tapeworms as they're commonly known.) so they are no more closely related than than a flea is to an walrus.
yes, absolutely mix the diatomaceous hearth with the milk, or water it work great to kill tapeworms in cats
Dogs can have fleas all right, & they can cause problems such as tapeworms. (Also, "FLEES" is actually spelled FLEAS.)Hope this helps.=Dominique, an 11 year old girl=
