My dog threw up worms. What's the best dewormer and is it contagious?

Question

Hi my dog coughed/threw up this wormy thing and is there any different dewormer I can use better than I used before? I gave her Safeguard dewormer before, now I’m thinking of getting her a better brand Nexguard dewormer perhaps is much better? Is this also contagious to other dogs? My dogs tend to eat on each other bowls. I tried to do this and searched online any home remedies these dogs were given to me and I can’t afford to take her to vets. Please help, thanks lots.

Hi there. You can get a broad-spectrum dewormer for dogs such as Panacur or Bayer Quad Dewormer, and give it according to the directions on the package. Nexgard is a flea/tick medication, and does not treat worms. Without knowing what type of worm it was, I can't say if it's contagious to your other dogs or not. The safest option would be to go ahead and deworm all of the dogs in the household.
