If your pet goes outside he/she should be dewormed 2-3 times per year. Cats and dogs that eat mice, gophers, birds will no doubt have tapeworms. Most kittens and puppies are born with roundworms. So the deworming process starts early in life. If you have a breeding female, she should be dewormed before she gets pregnant. If her deworming is not up to date, you need to deworm her babies when they are 8-12 weeks old.
There are many dewormers on the market. Check with your veterinarian which one is best for your situation.
Roundworms look like they sound, round.
Tapeworms can sometimes be seen under the tail of your animal. The tapeworm segments may remind you of white rice.
