I’ve noticed these past few days a bunch of green & hard pea looking balls. They’ve been on my dog’s bed as well & I saw one in her mouth & im not sure if it’s coming from her or outside. I’ve never seen anything like this. I wanna know if it’s coming from her so I can take her to a vet. It doesn’t seem normal. I need an answer

This does not look like anything I have ever seen coming from (the inside of) a dog. This is likely some seed pod or plant material from the outdoors, so I suggest you go outside where your dog plays and look around. You just might find the source. This could also be smashed peas.....maybe someone threw some food over the fence.
