Scooting isn’t a common symptom of worms even if they have tapes.

I hadn’t heard of that CDC report,... interesting. “The CDC study shows the transmission of Toxocara from dogs and cats to people is most common in young children and youth under age 20, and more common in non-Hispanic Blacks than in Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic Whites of all age groups. It is highest in lower socioeconomic and less-educated populations. “

Toxocara are roundworms. I haven’t gotten a positive test for rounds in years. I think exposure depends on where you live. I used to live on a farm so I wormed my dogs monthly.
My old vet used to worm his kids using the same stuff I used for puppies.

I've been training my dog for farm work
and notice he likes to sample the horses' road apples.

What deworming medicine do you use and what is the cost?
