Roundworm infection is a common problem among puppies and dogs. It is also one of the most easily treated parasitic diseases. Roundworm infection in puppies occurs when a puppy swallows a roundworm egg or young larvae, which then travel to your dog’s heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys, developing into adult worms.
The female worms then produce more larvae that spread throughout the body, causing severe infection. Roundworm infections are passed from dogs to dogs through larvae eggs in their feces, which can be ingested by another dog, where it hatches and grows.
