HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DOG HAS WORMS?In the case of many intestinal parasites, but not with all parasites, your pet may expel adult worms with their bowel movements. If you can collect a fresh stool (fecal) sample for your veterinarian, it will make it easier for them to make a positive identification. Your veterinarian will prepare a sample and examine it under a microscope to look for the immature form (eggs) of the intestinal worms.
