Most vets will just take a sample while in the office by just scraping your dog's bum, but if your vet wants an entire sample, I would just collect it in a plastic bag and bring it in. I would recommend you bring it in within an hour or so to ensure it is fresh enough for testing.

Intestinal worms are parasites, which are caused by the dog being exposed (usually by eating something unpleasant) to the immature forms of the worms.
