what does it mean when my dogs gums in the front have brown or purplish looking pigment to them?

Answer 1

Some breeds, such as German Shepheds and Chow Chows, often have natural pigmentation on their gums/tongues. Many of our Germans have had black spots on their tongues. We always enjoy seeing if the new ones (we raise Leader Dog puppies, mostly GSD) have new ones. It's just a part of who they are.

Answer 2

Some dogs just have pigmented gums. If it is something that looks unhealthy or appeared suddenly, I'd have the vet check it, but if it's always been there, it's just the way the dog is pigmented.

Answer 3

in case your canines gums are actually not healthful and pink it must be dehydrated or produce different serious underlying well being issues. it particularly is a thank you to examine for dehydration,the vet informed me to snatch the floor around the neck like its mom carried it while it replace right into slightly one, yet dont %. it up, in simple terms pinch the floor at the same time, if the floor particularly continues to be at the same time once you permit go, its dehydrated. i think of you are able to desire to get to a vet the colour of the gums dont sound sturdy... sturdy success

Answer 4

they could have gingivitis and should be seen by the Vet as soon as possible. In the meantime you can get Milk-bones for the dog, and other bones/snacks that promote fresh breath and healthy gums.

Answer 5

Does he/she have any Chow in them? I had a black chow cross one time and she had purplish gums.

Answer 6

your dogs gums are fine get some dental bones

Answer 7

It sounds like nothing to me. But if you are worried, take it to the vet.

Answer 8

I had a girlfriend like that, and she smoked. Your dog probably smokes.
