Some heartworm meds will take care of some, but not all, intestinal parasites (keep in mind that not all parasites are worms). Some dogs have chronic anal gland issues, which can be quite uncomfortable and can lead to infection if they're not expressed (emptied) routinely. I'd first start with a trip to the vet to see if that's in fact the problem (bring a stool sample too for an Ova/Para test as well). If it's the glands, a vet tech, a knowledgeable groomer, or a game and open-minded owner who's been shown proper technique by a vet, can do expressing at home.
