I don't know...what ARE you looking at? Should I be seeing something? A picture maybe? Is it raised? Swollen? Fuzzy? Gooey? | |

It's normal. Some dogs have black spots on their tounges. My sister's Golden Retriever has one and I asked her about it. She said it was common in Goldens. | |

 (Ruby my rescue) Notice the black spots on the right side of the tongue. If this is what you are talking about it is caused by extra pigmentation. | |

Elsa has a dime sized black spot on her tongue and it's nothing more than a birth mark and harmless. I hope your dog's is the same. | |

My little guy (5 months old) has a lot of black spots on his tongue. He is lab/chow mix so this is normal for him. Alot of breeds have that. It's a pigmentation thing.But, if it only just appeared and wasn't there when he was born, or up until recently, then have it checked out by a vet.
What kind of dog is it?
Good luck.

My ex bf has a Newfie and he has a big black spot. He used to joke he had his tongue pierced like his mommy (me).
If it's a new development, I'd be concerned. However, it's fairly common in most dogs; mixed or PBs.

Yeah I thought you were being sarcastic, but then you threw the smiley face in it and I thought it could be true!  <-----This does not look sarcastic!  | |
