Is it true that smoking around a dog will keep it from getting worms?

Someone told me that tobacco will get rid of worms in dogs, so if you smoke around your dog, they will be less likely to get worms. Is this true?Is it true that smoking around a dog will keep it from getting worms?
I would doubt that tobacco is good for anything at all and I, sadly, am a smoker! If you would like a natural way of worming your dogs, start by feeding a raw, natural diet. The fibre in carrot and coconut makes the stomach a very inhospital place for worms. The sulpher in onion and garlic will kill them and also keep other parasites away.


There are many herbals available for both dogs and cats, my favourite is ';Herbs for Pets'; by Mary Wulff-Tilford.Is it true that smoking around a dog will keep it from getting worms?
Re: Karen's answer, Onions are also toxic to dogs, as is chocolate, coffee, grapes, and a few other common foods. Check with a veterinarian before giving your pet any ';homemade'; or homeopathic remedies.

I think not.
';SOMEONE'; is a MORON!!!


There's always ';SOMEONE'; w/a REALLY **STUPID** ';granny-tale'; to pass on .





*****NOT*****true!
no, it is a myth based on the old ';remedy'; of giving a dog tobacco soaked in water- please do not do this to your dog- it is harmful. If a dog has worms or even if an owner wanted to do a preventative worming then they should take the dog to the vet for the proper medications
No, think about that...how could that possibly work? Never heard of it, think maybe somebody was ';playing games'; with you.
No, but smoking arounfd your dog is bad, and is more harmful to his lungs, then humans!
its not true
dont know about that, but if u smoke pot around a dog, it will get stoned
i don't think so. but it is a sure way to give your dog lung cancer.
no. worms can only be prevented with medication taken internally, because they get them from swallowing the larvae and eggs.
now that sound weird!
if anything you will give him lung cancer





thats what kills the worms and you can kill him with them
Whoa! I ain't no vet but I would have to say.........NUH!
THEY LIED TO YOU.SMOKE, EVEN SECOND HAND SMOKE ISN'T GOOD FOR ANY LIVING THING. CIGARETTE BUTTS CAN KILL A DOG IF THEY EAT ENOUGH OF THEM.MOST DOG PARKS HAVE NO SMOKING SIGNS UP.
I don't know about the dogs not getting worms...but your smoking will sure get you to be a dinner for warms earlier then you thought...lol
Of course not! But it will give them emphysema and lung cancer, plus inhibit their breathing in the meanwhile. What a very cruel thing to do to a helpless animal!
no
Yes instead of Worms they will get lung cancer. You boob! Smoking is bad for animals.
i dont' think that's true, probably one of those old wives tales.








very awesome 360!
I hope this someone was only joking? It may kill the worms (although I HIGHLY doubt it), but it's not healthy for anything to breathe second hand smoke! I think you should both stop smoking and get the dog wormed!
