    What are you worming the dog with? If you use a decent wormer like Milbemax, you shouldn't be treating the dog every month, but every three months.

    And no - didn't look at the pic!

    His dog is a pup so yes, he should be worming monthly up until 6 months.

    Looks like normal poo to me too OP but then again sometimes photos are not the clearest. What are you worried about?

    Worried about the yellowy things in the poo, hard too see in the pic. Maybe its something he ate outside?

    Worms will look like they are passing little grains of rice or strings of spaghetti and are usually white. If what you're concerned about is yellow, is it possible he ate some corn? Because that goes out the same as it comes in!

    If you are living with children or immuno-compromised individuals, then the recommendation is to worm an adult dog monthly. Otherwise, it's every three months.

    Hes not an adult dog , he will be 6 months old in 2weeks.

    He is getting a worm/flea dose today and he will b wormed every 3 months then.

    Theres no children in the house

    Sorry OP, that info was for general consumption as other posters were saying dogs over six months should be wormed every three months, which is not always appropriate.
