Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rocky. You will need to have a fecal sample tested by his veterinarian to know for sure. The pieces look too large to be parasite fragments. Could he have eaten any plant material on the yard with a similar appearance or gotten into human food? Has he chewed any toys made out of that material. If not, his veterinarian will test the stool to ensure that he does not have an infection. I hope this information helps!
