Dogs get worms far more often than most people think and these worms can harm your dog’s health. Roundworms travel throughout the body and can cause organ damage and inflammation. Other worms damage the intestinal wall and thus reduce the absorption of nutrients, but they can also cause diarrhea or vomiting. Worms also interfere with the effectiveness of a vaccine. This is why it is recommended to deworm your dog 4 times a year.
