| Roundworms and dogs Since the bear poo/roundworm pics it has made me wonder if my dog could have such a thing. I am going to the land of fleas for a month and am about to dose my dog with Revolution. I normally do not deworm or give flea meds. I notice that Revolution gets rid of roundworms in cats, but not in dogs. I was hoping it might act as a wormer too. So when talking about adult dogs (not puppies and not pregnant bitches) with healthy immune systems, how much do they actually need to be dewormed? I know that the immune system is supposed to encapsulate worms in healthy adult dogs keeping them from doing damage and that worming meds only will kill worms living in the gastrointestinal tract and wont touch those encapsulated in muscle worms anyways. What do you all think? How many or you deworm otherwise healthy adult dogs? Any point?
