Hey everyone I was just wondering how normal puppy acne is?

Our 3 month old pup has some acne on her stomach

Should we get this looked at or do anything about it?

Wow I didn't even know its possible I'm definitely keeping tabs on this topic.

Sounds more like some sort of bite like ants or fleas

Thats what we thought at first, but our neighbor is a vet and she read up all the possibilities and examined her and came to the conclusion that it was puppy acne. Weird I never knew they could get acne either!

Luka had something similar on her belly when she was a pup, called pyoderma. A round of low dose antibiotics cleared it right up.

Ava had that when she was a puppy. Her vet said it was actually a form of staph infection (causing me to flip out, haha), but is pretty common and usually clears itself up. Ava's went away on its own after a few weeks and there wasn't anything to worry about.

One of my greyhounds had some of this on his stomach, we tried a few antibacterial creams and it got better but when he passed at 11 he still had it, never bothered him!

Took Thor to the vet today because he has something on his on his chin which turned out to be acne. They gave me a wash to put on it.

Sometimes plastic bowls give dogs acne on their chin. Something to do with the bacteria. My cats got acne on their chins from plastic bowls, switched to stainless steel and it cleared up

We don't use plastic ours are metal and ceramic and wash them every other day.

I don't think this is as uncommon as people think, I know lots of people whose pets have had some from time to time.
