It never hurts to worm them, or even worm them a second time.

Kiara may be uncomfortable if she has a lot of worms, but there are no immediate life threatening side effects.

So I've been wasting my money all this time?!?! Grrrrr.

My husband shovels the dog pen for me, too - so I don't even see the poop. I guess I'll have to start looking.
