One hundred (TGI) partial gastrointestinal tracts of dogs were obtained, TGI were classified according to the age and gender of each dog, from TGI the helminths were obtained and classified according to their morphology, using a stereoscopic microscope. The overall prevalence of helminths was 84%. In fact, Dipylidium caninum was higher in females than in males (P <0.02). On the other hand, Toxocara canis prevalence was 71.11% in young-animal and 38.18% in adult-animal (P <0.02). In addition, the prevalence of Taenia spp was 4.44% and 25.45% for young and adult dogs respectively (P <0.05). In relation to Uncinaria stenocephala, the prevalence was 2.22% and 16.36% for young and adult dogs respectively (P <0.05).
