Yes. It can be for several reasons. A vet can help.

Yep-they can develope acne. Feeding and watering in plastic bowls can be a cause.Keep the chin clean and dab with peroxide. If you are using plastic bowls switch to either glass,ceramic or stainless.

If your dog eats out of a plastic bowl, it's possible that your dog has an allergic reaction that can look quite similar to acne. I've heard it called plastic dish dermatitis. Switch your bowls to stainless steel or ceramic and the acne should go away. If it doesn't please visit your vet.

yes some do hon,try some t.c.p. on a clean cotton wool ball, don't use the same cotton wool ball on another spot, what works for us works for dogs/cats.if your still worried phone the vet, and ask. it you take it in, some charge £25. consulting charge. but just keep an eye on them, and don't worry coral

well my advise would be to take your puppy to see his/her vet , all dog´s at this age pick up one thing or another , as they just think that what´s in front of them is for eating, best to make sure , at least it will put your mind at rest , & keep your puppy happy & healthy good luck

My ten month old female is just coming out of "season" and she has a zit on her snout. My hubby popped it (ewwwe) and it's healing up.
Who knew dogs need clearasil?
