Some kind of flatworm? Planaria? It's not a Boa so I'm just playing on this question.. :laugh:

Are these something that came out of the dog or did they bring them in from the walk? Frequently they stop, sniff, and bite at nasty stuff on the ground so it is possible they just snagged these from somewhere on the walk.

We're taking them to vet tomorrow to get them checked for worms but I don't see any reason they would have them. They get their worm medicine once and month and are taken care of like they were our kids.

A cursory internet search of common dog parasite doesn't yield anything super similar to these guys.

Bring forth your knowledge and ID these for my peace of mind
