Tapeworms, call your vet to be sure, but thats what it sounds like.
Run a sample over to him to see what he thinks

Ok, that is a possibility of worms but all you need to do is go to the vet and take in the poop in a small bag, and your vet will examine and can probably easily tell if its worm.
The papery stuff in your dogs poop coul also be from what your dog is consuming. You should follow your dog around one day to see what it might be eating like some newspaper or magazine on the floor somewhere or behind the couch.

Hm, can't think of a worm that looks like paper!! Sure your dog hasn't eaten some paper?!
Best thing to do is to just pop into your vets for some broad-spectrum wormer. It's better to prevent the things than to try and treat once they're already present.

I'm not sure but I would get some and take it to a vet and have them test it to check for worms just to make sure. They also can prescribe some medication to cure that.
