Do puppies have belly buttons?

Answer 1

They have a scar where the cord was attached but not anything comparable to a human belly button...;

Answer 2

Yes they do but they are not normally very obvious and become more like a small scar than a human belly button (umbilicus).

Umbilical hernias are quite common in pups - they usually look like pea - sized lumps but they can be much bigger. Most of them never cause the dog any bother but occasionally some surgery is required to repair the hernia.

When I buy a pup I usually check for any umbilical hernia. They are so easy to spot - it wouldn't put me of getting the pup but I would want my Vet to look at it just in case.

Answer 3

Most only have a small scar where the cord was attached. But I have a 8year old Shih Tzu, and he has a belly button that looks exactly like a humans.

Answer 4

Yep! Have a look in the middle of the puppies belly.

Answer 5

Yep. My dog has a belly button although it doesn't look like a human belly button, it's more like a scar in apperance.

Answer 6

All mammals which are contained in a placenta have "belly buttons" it is the ^point at which the umbilical cord is attached in puppies you don't always see it because it can be covered with fur

Answer 7

To answer this question ask yourself, do puppies have umbilical cords?
Every critter that is born with one has a belly button. If it is a "inny" or "outy" is another question.
