Coloring on dog's belly.

Hello,

Here lately we have been noticing that the belly of our dog has turned black. It's not all black, but the right side of her belly mostly has it. Does anyone know what it is? We seen something online about the belly turning black, but it doesn't itch her.

A question for your vet. Could be just about anything. Please call your vet.

Zoey's tummy turned, not black, but darker after she got spay.. and it was only in the area that they had shaved, the rest of it remained the same.. So I am assuming, with her at least, that it has something to do with the skin seeing more sun. Maybe your dog lays on the same side all the time when she goes out? I'd ask your vet though if you are concerned about it.

Ruby's has got darker just as she is getting older. It was pink at 9 weeks when I got her and it is dark pink/black now at 6 months

Well ours is about 8 or 9 years old, maybe 10.

Then I think you should call or go to a vet
