A tapeworm body consists of multiple parts, or segments, each with its own reproductive organs. Tapeworm infections are usually diagnosed by finding segmentsâwhich appear as small white worms that may look like grains of rice or seedsâon the rear end of your dog, in your dogâs feces, or where your dog lives and sleeps.
