1. Diagnosing Tapeworms In Dogs
Dogs and cats become infected with tapeworms by ingesting intermediate hosts that contain
encysted juvenile tapeworms called larvae. Diagnosis: is usually by visualization of tapeworm
segments in feces. Mode of transmission: For Dipylidium oral ingestion of infected fleas is the only
means of infecting dogs and cats. Any pet having Dipylidium tapeworms must have or have had
fleas on it. Other tapeworms are contracted by ingesting the meat of infected small rodents,
livestock or fish, depending on the type of tapeworm.
In addition, not all species of tapeworm with the dog as the final host have sheep as the intermediate
host and eggs of all species of Taenia are very similar morphologically. There are also separate
information sheets on roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms and heartworms that will
provide you with more details. There are several types of internal parasites that cause problems in

Inside the larval flea, the tapeworm egg continues to develop and, at the same time, the flea also
matures into an adult flea. During grooming or in response to a flea bite, a dog can swallow the
tapeworm infected flea and complete the life cycle. Inside the host's stomach, the flea's body is
digested away and the young tapeworm is released. In the "old days" it was rather difficult to rid a
pet of tapeworms.
