Dogs can get several types of worms that include roundworms, tapeworms, coccidia, and whipworms. There is medication that you can give your dog to deworm them. Treating your dog for the correct type of worm is important and a vet can help determine which type of worm you dog may have.

Deworming a dog is essential to the dog's health, especially for a puppy. You can buy over-the-counter medications for some types of worms, but in many cases you need to get the proper medicine from a veterinarian.
