I read about carrots used for worming from this article - http://www.bullovedbulldogs.com/worms.htm first I need to state I have not followed this conclusively, they recommed carrots (or other vegs that contain carotenes) or to use garlic for round and tapeworms. Amounts will vary depending on the size of dog. Second, it is probably a good idea to have a vet check the dog to make sure you know what type of worm you are dealing with - since treatment may vary depending on the worm.

Many tradional allopathic vets do no follow alternatives, so if your own vet is open to options - look at meeting with a holistic or homeopathic vets. Perhaps you could email the people from the website I gave, since they sound like they have a lot of knowledge in this area.

Here is another article about worming- http://www.critterchat.net/worming.htm some other's opinions: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/herbal/msg011901083445.html

good luck
