Hi! I was watching that Huggies show "Mums & Bubs" recently where Katrina Warren (vet) said that if a dog or cat is wormed & is basically a house pet then they don't have anything that a baby/child can catch.

My dog has 'kissed' my DS quite a few times (not that she's 'allowed to', she just does it) and he's survived so far. I've seen parents who let their dogs 'kiss' their babies from very early on (3 or 4 months old) without any problems either so I think you should be pretty right.

If it was a festy dog then maybe you should worry but otherwise all should be fine.
