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. Most tapeworms do not produce obvious symptoms in dogs, other than worm segments on your dog's rear end or feces. 2  Dogs can get tapeworms from fleas, mice, or other rodents. 3  Flea control is an important step in protecting your dog from tapeworms.
Once digested, the tapeworm eggs settle into your dogâs small intestine. There it will develop into an adult. The adult tapeworm is made up of lots of small segments, each about the size of a grain of rice, called proglottids. Adult tapeworms usually measure anywhere from four to 28 inches in length. As the tapeworm matures inside the dogâs gut, these segments break off and end up in the dogâs stool.
