Canine Hookworms: What You Need to Know

7. How are hookworms treated?

Oral deworming products treat hookworms.  Typically, they are administered every two weeks. If your dog is suffering from other conditions such as severe anemia or dehydration from diarrhea, more extensive treatment, such as a blood transfusion or IV fluid administration may be necessary. He may also need to take iron supplements to boost his blood production as well as eat a special diet to help restore his strength when he gets home.
