Why do my dogs have diarrhea and bloody stool? Could it be worms?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Standard Schnauzer | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 20 lbs

I have 2 dogs 1 year old schnauzers who’ve both never been dewormed . They have been having diarrhea and recently noticed blood in the stool. I am thinking that they may need to be dewormed . I need help

You can pick up Panacur at a pet store, it's a very good deworming treatment. It's a three day course of treatment, and you will need to give Brian and Peach a second treatment two weeks after the first to kill all the worms. If this does not help with the diarrhea and blood, they will need to see the vet. Best of luck.
