It certainly can.. His tummy won't feel like eating as much..And, of what he does eat, the worms steal much of the nutrition..

i have a american staffordshire pitbull terrior,and the only time his apetite is affected,is when he's sick. I dont know if not deworming it affects it,but he might slow down the way he eats.

Yes, worms can affect any dog's appetite. Take a fecal sample to the vet so they can check and see what kind of worms your dog has and prescribe the correct medication to take care of the parasites. Your dog will thank you!

Yes. If you don't get your dog wormed he may eat less because the worms are crowding his stomach and intestinal tract; or he may eat more because the worms (such as tape worms) are stealing the nurtition he needs from the food.
Get your dog wormed. It's inexpensive, easy, and it may save your dog's life.

any dog can feel sick from having intestinal parasites. Do you understand that intestinal parasites live in the intestinal tract? Don't you think would feel a little crummy if you had intestinal parasites????????????
