Re: Whip worms & Hook worms what a mess

I was told the whipworms can stay in moist soil, also my vet said some dogs get them from old water, Gypsy got them this past summer and it was bad, none of my other dogs did, she got them from the dog park I beleive, I use heartguard for her heartworm prevention and even though they dont always say it prevents whipworms the company paid for my office visit, medication, and xrays... If you clean up daily and use a bleach on the area where they go it should cure the problem. thats what I was told to do and never had a reacurrance, Also my vet said whipworms are rare in adult dogs!!

Im in Michigan as well where abouts are you?
