The worm you see in the stool is adult and not infectious. In order for round worm to be infective, the eggs has to have larval L2 in the eggs and ingested by the puppy or dog. For hook worm, the infective stage is larval stage L3. Can either be ingested or it can penetrate skin of dog and even human. That's why don't walk bare footed on wet grass.

All worms should be dead after poo-ed out of the dog's body. They can't survive outside of the dog's body for long so it is not true to up the dosage of medicine according to that. Strictly follow the instrcutions on how much dewormer to give according to the dog's body weight. potter
