Can a dog get tapeworms from eating canine feces with live tapeworms segments?

Tapeworms occur from swallowing a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae, which can occur while the dog or cat is simply self-grooming. once the flea is digested inside the dog/cat, the larval tapeworm can develop into adulthood. Roundworms, on the other hand, are the most common intestinal parasite in dogs and cats. Animals infected with roundworm pass the infection to other animals when the worm eggs develop into larvae and are present in the animal's feces. A dog or cat could pick up the infection by eating infected soil, licking contaminated fur or paws, or by drinking contaminated water. Whipworms are passed through animal feces in a similar manner as roundworms. Healthy pets may not show any signs of worm infection. However, if you notice a change in your pet's appetite or coat, diarrhea, or excessive coughing, see a veterinarian. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, in most cases a fecal test will detect the presence of worm eggs or adults in a pet's feces. If present, the veterinarian will recommend a deworming program. A good way to prevent worm infections is by using one of several monthly heartworm preventatives available from your veterinarian.
