Two kinds of worms are the most common parasites: round worm and tapeworm. Only a blood test can tell if there are parasites in the blood. Tapeworm, the most common dog parasite, looks like a grain of rice in the feces, it might even move. Round worms are bigger and look like a White earthworm. Fleas carry tapeworm and spread it to dogs with their bite. So, control those fleas!

You must know so your Veterinarian can treat your dog with the proper medication or at least let you know what type to purchase.
