Depends on the age of the dog. There is something called puppy acne that puppies get on their tummies and sometimes on their chins-it goes away usually by itself. You can wash the areas with an antibacterial soap-it will get rid of the surface staph germs that could be causing the "zits" If the doggy is slightly older than a puppy they could be sebaceous cysts-like whiteheads only a bit larger. Unless they cause the doggy discomfort or they start growing the vet usually says to leave them alone unless they are near the eyes or the doggy scratches at them and makes them bleed. Don't pick at them, please. Ear scratches to the Yorkie!

They are probably pimples. My dog got them on the skin just above his nose when he was younger. They should go away, but if not, take it to a vet and ask!
