Well, animals can pick up worms (we are not talking about earthworms here, you know but a kind of intestinal parasite) from things they pick up off the ground. Deworming kills the worms in their intestinal tract. Humans can get worms too.
Deworming is used to remove parasites from the horse that are squatting in its intestine.
Dosing will depend on the deworming drug used.
The possible side effects of deworming will depend on the drug used. With the commonly used dewormers, side effects are rare.
The dose of deworming drug doesn't depend on breed, it depends on weight. The type of deworming drug depends on what type of parasites the dog has. A veterinarian should run a fecal test and examine any dog to ensure that the appropriate drug is used and that the appropriate dose of deworming drug is given.

No they are not. The deworming products on the market may have different chemical makeup and concentration. In the US, the common deworming chemicals in use are fenbendazole, pyrantel pamoate and tartrate, ivermectin, moxidectin and praziquantel. Each of these drugs is considered broad spectrum but there are differences in what parasites they kill and what stages of those parasites they are effective against.
