Roundworm in cats, kittens, dogs, puppies and humans

Prevention and treatment

Since a roundworm infection in man has such potentially serious consequences, it is important to ensure that your pet is not shedding eggs into the environment, particularly if it exercises in public areas.
 

One way to be sure that your cat or dog is not infecting the environment with roundworm is by worming your pet regularly, with a product licensed specifically to remove this species of parasite. Discuss this with your veterinarian.
