Go to a Farm Supply store and buy the pills. You need to know the weight of the dog. Pickup the dog and weigh on a bathroom scale and then just weigh yourself and subtract the difference, this the dogs weight. Farm supply will sell you the same pill a Vet use, they may be $2-3. Ask and they can explain how to use it and I tell too. Some require you not feed the dog for a certain amount of time. Have plenty of water. I rub some Bacon Grease on the pill. Take your left/right hand and open the dogs mouth holding the snout and press your thumb to the roof of their mouth toward the back and with the other hand poke the pill to the back of their throat as far as you can (I usually use thumb and forefinger to hold). Then close the dog mouth holding it shut and raise it nose up and stroke it's throat until it swallow the pill. Then pet and encourage the dog; "You did good, you a good dog", this helps it go well. IF, you ever with your dog and the Vet, this how the Vet do it and a good Vet will show you this. If it bad you may need to re-worm in about 5-7 days to get rid of the eggs that hatch, just ask about this at the Farm Supply.
I not sure if Wal-Wort have the pills get rid of these worms, but, you can try. I assume this a white flat and if you look close you see the pinchers it attach to the intestines.

I assume you are diagnosing it based on looking up info online. While this is a great place to find stuff, it is a better bet for you to take your dog to the vet and have them check her out. They will give her an appropriate medication that may cost you more but it will do the job rather than you buying lots of "cheap" meds to treat what you might have mistakenly diagnosed. Do try to get the dog in soon and make sure any place they dog has pooped is cleaned up (scope it up outside) and it's a good idea to wash up well any area the dog like to lay in/on as parts of tape worms and other worm eggs can exit the anus without a bowel movement. Good luck to you.

Do not under any circumstances buy the dewormers at Walmart or other stores like that. They do absolutely nothing but waste your money and your time. You should be able to go to a Petsmart or Petco (where they have a vet clinic) and describe the worms to them and buy something from them that will take care of it. What they will give you will depend on the type of worms, but it shouldn't be too expensive.

The vet has a pill (according to weight) that will take care of those. Most likely tapeworms. (not for sure though). Caused by eating fleas. There may be over the counter also at Petsmart, WalMart, etc. The vet pill will be about ten dollars.

This is the cheapest way: go to walmart, pick up any cheap kind of dog dewormer, and pick up a little can of moist dog food, get home and put the right amount on the moist dog food and feed it to your dog. Remember now that he has wormer in his system he will use the bathroom and there will be dead worms in it so make sure to take him outside every hour or so because cleaning that up is horrible!!

Check out the site petmedicinechest.com
The products a very good and they help. Less expensive if you keep it up. It's even a replacement for the toxid shots the vets want to give them every year. I swear it works! Worm Out get rid of any kind of worm. Good luck

what did it look like? white-rice like would be tapeworms, you can get over the counter drontal type med at petsmart, just follow (repeat) dosing instructions carefully. roundworms can be taken care of by the strongid or pyrantel, but you have to do repeat dosing, not just one dose. easiest, safest, fastest and probably most financially convenient what it comes to the end is going to see your vet

there are many type of intestinal parasites that puppies can have. You need to have a vet identify the intestinal parasites and then either advise you which dewormer to purchase or sell you a dewormer.
