I was playing with puppy in my yard and he ran and licked feces for a second then I immediately picked him up. I don't know what kind of animal I'm assuming cat or dog. he recently got his Parvo and distemper shot. A dewormer in form of liquid and heart worm medicine exactly 3 days ago at vetco. Is there anything I should take precaution as in what to look out for about DunDee(my puppy) just in case. Also should I wash food bowl tonight also for precaution since i don't want bacteria pass since.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I know you are worried by DunDee will be fine. There are no precautions to take. IF he ingested the fecal material he was covered for worms by the dewormer AND the heart worm preventative. I wish you the best
