Can any intestinal parasites be passed from a dog to people? - The Drake Center
Yes, and, unfortunately, some parasites can cause blindness in children. They can also cause skin problems. We take parasites very seriously. Although they're entirely preventable and treatable, we do not ever want children to be exposed to intestinal parasites.

What can I do to prevent tapeworm? - The Drake Center
They get tapeworms by ingesting fleas or flea eggs. By controlling fleas, you're not going to ever have tapeworms.

Can my indoor dog still get intestinal parasites? - The Drake Center
Yes, unless your indoor dog never goes outside, although I don't think any dogs are like that.
