Just found worms in stool of one of my dogs. Not sure what type, They are approximately 1 inch long, white in color, and fairly flat. As they move, they seem to get wider(increase in width). Sorry if explanation offeds--did not want to confuse with the color as the worms are white. Anyone know what they are??

Tapeworm:
The head attaches to the intestinal wall and grows a segmented tail. These segments break off and pass in the hounds stool as white rice looking segments. An inch long may actually be up to 4 segment still attached together, as I seen them as small as 1/4"
Droncit wormer is good for removal of tapes...

An all purpose wormer you can use that is readily available in most pet supply catalogs is either Safe Guard or Panacur. They're both good for rounds, hooks, whip and tapeworms.

Sounds like tapes to me also.
