When your dog is dewormed, they may honestly shed some of those; you may actually see live worms in your dog's stool. As a whole, we're getting rid of all the life stages present to hopefully clear them out, so don't be alarmed if you see anything like that.

The best deworming products to give your dog are prescribed by a veterinarian, so it usually requires an exam. Whether we send it home for you to give at home, you’ll get the best product. You may pick some up at a supermarket or pet store but, again, I recommend they be prescribed by your veterinarian.

It's a pretty simple, straightforward diagnostic. We collect some stool, whether you bring it here or we collect it in-house. We do a fecal float to see if there are any eggs, and we look at that under the microscope.
