Someone told me that tobacco will get rid of worms in dogs, so if you smoke around your dog, they will be less likely to get worms. Is this true?
Um, I never said I smoked, let alone smoked around a dog. I don't, I was just wondering if it was true or not.

    i don't think so. but it is a sure way to give your dog lung cancer.

    I would doubt that tobacco is good for anything at all and I, sadly, am a smoker! If you would like a natural way of worming your dogs, start by feeding a raw, natural diet. The fibre in carrot and coconut makes the stomach a very inhospital place for worms. The sulpher in onion and garlic will kill them and also keep other parasites away.
    There are many herbals available for both dogs and cats, my favourite is "Herbs for Pets" by Mary Wulff-Tilford.

    no, it is a myth based on the old "remedy" of giving a dog tobacco soaked in water- please do not do this to your dog- it is harmful. If a dog has worms or even if an owner wanted to do a preventative worming then they should take the dog to the vet for the proper medications

    I don't know about the dogs not getting worms…but your smoking will sure get you to be a dinner for warms earlier then you thought…lol

    I hope this someone was only joking? It may kill the worms (although I HIGHLY doubt it), but it's not healthy for anything to breathe second hand smoke! I think you should both stop smoking and get the dog wormed!

    THEY LIED TO YOU.SMOKE, EVEN SECOND HAND SMOKE ISN'T GOOD FOR ANY LIVING THING. CIGARETTE BUTTS CAN KILL A DOG IF THEY EAT ENOUGH OF THEM.MOST DOG PARKS HAVE NO SMOKING SIGNS UP.

    i dont' think that's true, probably one of those old wives tales.

    very awesome 360!

    No, think about that…how could that possibly work? Never heard of it, think maybe somebody was "playing games" with you.

    its not true

  • Margie says:

    no. worms can only be prevented with medication taken internally, because they get them from swallowing the larvae and eggs.

  • oldtrash06 says:

    Of course not! But it will give them emphysema and lung cancer, plus inhibit their breathing in the meanwhile. What a very cruel thing to do to a helpless animal!

    No, but smoking arounfd your dog is bad, and is more harmful to his lungs, then humans!
