My dog's normal poop comes out in small pieces. Is this a concern?

Recently my dog has been pooping- and it’s been normal and formed but it’s been coming out in little/small pieces instead of one or two long pieces. Is this something to be worried about. It’s a normal color and consistency otherwise.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bentley. It's ok if the poop is coming out in small pieces as long as it's the normal color and consistency. I would not be worried. I hope this helps!
