Is this dog vomit or poop? It has grass, carrots, and a worm.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 36 lbs

Hello my mother found this sort of glob of digested food on the floor this morning from my dog. My dog had eaten grass the previous day, you can see a blade of grass in it. The orange is carrots. I am not sure if she vomited this or if it is feces. My mom did not hear her vomit but my dog has been coughing the past couple days. What concerns me the most is what looks like a vein from a chicken leg or a worm. It was not moving at all. My mom did throw this away after picking it up. Thank you.

I agree that it is likely vomit and not poop. The Long object could be a worm, but also resembles a plant stem to me. Since she was eating grass I suspect she could have also been consuming other plant materials. I would, however, recommend that you take a poop sample to your veterinarian to have it tested for parasite eggs to make sure that she doesn’t need any medications. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
