We have had to use Droncit on Donner several times for tape worms. Tape worms will appear on a dog's rear end around the anus and look like grains of rice. Donner gets them because we have him on 60 acres of sagebrush on the weekends and he has been known to go out early in the morning and chase jackrabbits. He has also caught (and eaten) chipmunks, sagerats, and woodrats...try as we might to not let this happen! Molly has never had worms, but she is not that much of a hunter.
If your dog gets tape worms, you have to make sure you get the med that kills tape worms, not just round worms. But there are good over the counter worm meds that you don't have to pay a fortune for. (Farm feed stores are good places to shop for dog meds)
Dogs can eat the craziest things and you really have to watch them! Recently Donner passed about 4 paper towels that I had soaked up chicken grease with. I have gone to making sure the garbage is out of the room at night because he will nose through it in the middle of the night!
