Internal Parasites. There are a number of different worms that can affect your dog: roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, whipworms and heartworms. Some live in the intestines and some in the tissue. Many worms do not pose a problem for your dog at all, and you will not even be aware that they are even there.
Heartworms are parasites that live in the blood vessels and heart of dogs. Sometimes cats are infected with heartworms too. Because heartworms live inside the heart, too many of them can cause the dog's heart not to work very well and the dog can get sick. In small dogs and cats even a few worms can cause a big problem. Dogs get heartworms when an infected mosquito bites them.
