| Puppy Pimples? Do dogs get pimples? I was just rubbing Bentley's tummy and I noticed that he has these lil "pimple" looking bumbs around his pee pee but one of them is kinda weird looking. Its like a small bump but its kinda green looking, not gross looking but it has green color to it. I was just wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned. |

| puberty I know that puppy pimples are completely normal, green ones I do not. I owned a golden retriever who had them and was concerned about it so I asked my vet. Apparently some dogs get it some don't, it's a normal part of there life cycle. Since my retriever was almost about to reach the one year mark the vet described it as the dogs adolescent phase. |

| He might be getting staph.It is usually seen if they are allergic to the grass. My lab use to get it, the vet usually prescribed meds. Bath him real well and make sure it doesn't spread. You can call your vet. Has he been bit by fleas?

| Thank you all for your advice!! I have an apt. with the vets tomarrow to get his last shot and I'll ask them about the bumps also just to make sure. Im sure its nothin to worry about cause they're not really a rash or anything and they're just 2 of em, lil bumps. So I'll let ya all know for sure tomarrow! |

| I also noticed those puppy pimples on my Tuffy's tummy. So what do I do with it? Do I put cream or something? |
