If you call your vet they will just ask for a sample of the poo and then you can get some dewormer. Usually you wont even have to take your dog in.... just the poo. For me the only kind that I have ever used that actually worked was from the vet, but perhaps others on this board have used other brands!

You can get some at Petsmart and they work fine.

I am going to take a sample to the vet tomorrow, and get enough to make sure EVERYONE is de-wormed!

Usually if you see worms in the poo.....they are tapeworms. Check the hiney for little rice like thingys and also the bedding. If they are tapeworms over the counter meds will not work.....you will need to have your vet give you something....usually Droncit.
