It is parasitism. Parasitism is when 1 organism, the tapeworm, is benefits, and 1 organism is harmed, the dog.

i believe its parasitic, but you might want to verify. I know its not mutualistic, and I'm 99% sure its not commensalistic because tape worms are bad in humans. But I'm not sure about cats.
