How can you tell if your dog has worms?

Answer by  Sasha (106)

You can tell your dog has worms by examing their feces. Usually when a dog has worms he/she will have little white worms in the feces. Also, they do a lot of scooting around because their anus will get itchy and irritated.

A lot of times if your dog has gastrointestinal worms, you will be able to see them on the dog's feces after they've used the bathroom. They are usually small, white or pale yellow worms. Your dog may also scratch or lick its anus excessively, and will probably be losing weight.
