Only use a wormer that is licenced for use in dogs; those from the vets are the best, but if you do buy one from a pet shop make sure it kills tapeworms AND roundworms.
Caveat: Many "off-label" products are far less expensive but equally or more effective than wormers "approved for dogs". Know your worms? Several varieties can transfer from dogs to humans, the most common being pinworms. Pyrantel Pamoate Suspension (same drug/same bottle) is equally effective in dogs and humans, inexpensive, and available w/o prescription (I'm a 30+ year trainer).
For most owners, collect a fresh stool sample and have your Vet examine it at least annually when you take the dog in for vaccinations or when they seem nervous and are licking their behind more than usual, or if they exhibit a "dry" cough. If you have more than one dog, treat them all and keep their common areas clean, daily.
The exception is in the event of a persistent dry cough, have them tested for heartworm, rather than treating them all. The causative perisite is a different issue.
Ask your Vet, very clearly, about readily available, less expensive, alternatives to the meds recommended. They are the experts but have a vested interest in pushing particular products.
