Deworming dogs: essential information

There are hundreds of worm species worldwide, but not all of them are relevant to your dog. It is more useful to focus on those that occur locally, can harm your pet or can be transmitted to people.

In Germany, roundworms such as Toxocara canis, hookworms, the fox tapeworm (Echinococcus multilocularis) and the dog tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus) are of particular interest for dogs. You can find further information about deworming on the ESCCAP website.
