Roundworms are internal parasites that live in the small intestine. Most puppies are born with roundworm, or get it from their mother's milk, so it is important to give them de-worming treatments. Adults usually show no signs of infection and need to be tested by your vet.

If roundworm infection is found in your dog the vet will prescribe medications to treat it. As with all internal parasites, the best method of treatment is prevention. There are medications available for preventing roundworm. Picking up stools from your yard will also prevent roundworm infection.
