My puppy has round worms and was treated yesterday. I am wondering if I can bring him around my friends dog without him passing the worms to her? What precautions should I take?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Round worms are passed fecal-orally. So your friends dog would have to ingest Rogan's stool. Just clean up after him we'll and everything should be fine! I hope this helps and have a great day!
