5. Worms

It is quite common for dogs to pick up intestinal worms, they will often do so through eating infected food that they find outside. These worms will make their home in your pooch’s stomach where they will continue to grow as they feed on the contents of the stomach. Worms can potentially pose a threat to your pet’s health, and even to their life, if they are left untreated.

The good news is that they are quite easy to treat and are usually dealt with without causing any lasting damage. If your dog has worms, they might also self-medicate by eating some grass if they get the chance.
