Symptoms Of Canine Hookworms

A hookworm is a parasite that lives and feeds inside its host’s body. The larvae of hookworms are usually picked up by dogs because they tend to eat them unknowingly or the worms are contracted through the paws. Dogs have the habit of digging mud and the hookworm always is found in contaminated soil. They can also be transferred through the mother's milk, and some veterinary doctors believe that they can be transferred through the placenta into the unborn pup.
