My puppy ate a worm on our walk. Should I be worried about his health?

Question

Hello, Is it dangerous for my puppy to eat worms? I think he may have ingested a small worm when we went on a walk. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 5 months and 21 days old | 15.3 lbs

Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Regular earthworms and most insects are not harmful for your pet to ingest. Also as a quick reference you can visit Aspca pet poison control website for a complete list of toxic plants/foods your pet shouldn’t ingest. Otherwise Lucky should be just fine. Best wishes and take care.
