Puppies Worms Like Rice. There are other types of tapeworm that can be contracted by our pets. As the tapeworm segment dries, the color changes to gold.

When these segments die, they look like uncooked rice grains and can be found near your pet's bedding. The good news is, however, that tapeworms can be seen with the naked eye. “scooting” may also be a sign of tapeworms.
