Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! i would walk to new dog in a separate area to poop than George. Immediately pick up her stool. You should do this until she has had a negative stool sample. Most intestinal parasites are transmitted by a dog eating infected stool. So if George doesn't eat her stool he should be fine. Revolution doesn't provide any intestinal parasite coverage, so that won't help. The other oral heart worm preventatives do though. I wish you the best!
