Whip Worm: A tough battle.

• Whip worms are contracted by your dog ingesting the fecal matter of other pets that have been infected and passed the worm eggs. Usually this occurs when they are digging in the dirt because the eggs can remain viable in the soil for years after the stool dissolves.
• Your dog will need to be checked for parasites often because these worms are hard to get rid of, and they suck blood through the intestinal wall.
• Whip worms can kill puppies quickly.
