If your dog has been infected, over-the-counter worm medications aren't always the best solutions. Many are effective only against one kind of parasite and require repeat treatments over a long period of time--it all depends on the worm and the level of infestation, as well as the age and general health of your dog. (In some cases, like tapeworm, prescription meds are the only thing that's at all effective.) A vet can give you a better idea of what will work in your dog's particular case. Treatment isn't usually all that traumatic; for most cases, oral medications will do the job.
