Dried up tapeworms on it? I mean, can I do it in the washer and dryer without hurting us or anything else?

you could in hot water and bleach, but it would probably be easier just to find new bedding, example an old towel, pillow, clothes...ect

Yes you sure can!! How ever go to the store and buy a 12 oz bottle of Lysol ( brown bottle) its concentrated; add 3 cap fulls to lauNDry, at the beginning. Please be sure and use tide w/bleach
wash them by there selves, hot water, and repeat and the cycle is through. Then you may rinse your tub with bleach on the 2nd rinse cycle with nothing in the washer and let the water spin out . your in safe haven then hope this can be a help to ya.don't for get to worm the pups at three weeks and repeat in three weeks.

I would remove all traces of debris manually by either shaking the bedding out, outside or using a vacuum to remove as much dirt as possible. Wash the bedding in very hot water and use bleach if possible. Otherwise, you may just want to dispose of it and purchase new bedding. It's always better to be safe than sorry. You also want to be sure to clean the kennel/crate extensively using bleach. Rinse and dry completely to remove all traces of bleach since bleach is very caustic (i.e. can burn the skin). Good luck.

no you need to throw that away cause it could possibly still be infected with the tapeworm eggs . Would you want your dog to get them again ? I sure hope not . just go buy new bedding . Good luck to you . I hope i helped.

Why take chances? Throw it out and get new bedding. Don't be a cheap-o when it comes to your dog. Don't have a dog if you can't take care of him in little ways like giving him fresh bedding.

Ask your vet. You might want to add lots of bleach and really hot water.

Is it worth trying to save some money? I'd get new stuff just to make sure.

i would be too grossed out to put it in my own wash. i would throw it away and buy new bedding or use old towels, tee shirts, whatever.
that's just me..
