Giardia can be prevalent in your environment - either in your home or in your community. Your dog might become infected by ingesting stool, getting bits of stool on their paws or body and later cleaning themselves or from drinking water (clear running streams and city puddles can both contain Giardia. In addition, once a dog is infected, it is likely that the parasites will make themselves comfy in your home. This is challenging as Giardia is extremely difficult to kill. The cysts can live outside of their hosts for long periods of time. They are resistant to heat, UV light and most cleaners. A heavy mix of bleach and water OR ammonia and water can kill the parasites. Both ammonia and bleach are toxic to animals and people so take great care in using either of these in living areas. Please check with your vet for the proper mix and application of these substances. You may be able to get Giardia from your pet. Wash hands completely and make sure to disinfect the entire house. Although frustrating, this is a common infection.

How much d-worm combo broad spectum de-wormer pills do you give a dog with worms?
It all depends on the size of the dog, it is based on weight. However your best bet is to take him or her to a veterinarian and have a fecal run. Depending on the type of worm, depends on the deworming medication used. There unfortunately isn't one "broad spectrum" dewormer that get all intestinal parasites. Giardia requires one kind of deworming medication. Coccidia requires another kind. Whipworms require another type of medication and it has to be given for three days, then you wait three weeks, and give it again for three days, then wait three months and give it for three days. Roundworms and hookworms are the only worms that can be treated with the same medication. Tapeworms require a completely different treatment.
