Roundworms are transmitted when dogs eat dirt or feces contaminated with roundworm eggs. Nearly all puppies are born with roundworm--most mothers have dormant larvae in their tissue. These larvae come to life at the end of the pregnancy and migrate into the lungs of the new pups.
Roundworms that are found in the soil are called nematodes. Parasitic roundworms can infest most parts of your body. Hookworms, pinworms and trichina are some roundworms that are parasitic on humans.

Can you get worms from eating dog food?
YES! Absolutely, & even YOU can catch worms from dogs - roundworms especially. Worm eggs are in the dog's feces, are microscopic, and can be inhaled by your dog, or you, and transmitted in this way. So keep your dog AWAY from other dog's feces! They always want to smell other dog's feces, but try not to let that happen! If you handle any dog feces then be sure to THOROUGHLY wash your hands, immediately! If you fear that your dog may have worms then call your vet and find out how much they charge to test for worms. My vet only charges $30, so that's not bad at all. Worms, if left untreated, can eventually kill the dog!
