Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Signs of worms are: distended belly, gas, decreased appetite, dull hair coat, underweight, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Puppies do not have to show all of these symptoms. They could just show one, a few or none! If you are suspicious of worms then bring a stool sample to your Vet. I hope this helps and good luck!
