Today we’re going to take a look at your dog’s tongue so you can understand what you see and why their tongue looks that way.<\/p>\n
These spots are usually no different than a mole or freckle on your skin. They usually occur because of a skin discoloration. These spots can show up anywhere including paw pads, legs beneath the fur, and the tongue. In most cases, tongue spots are no different to human birthmarks.<\/p>\n
There is no reason that they would hurt. These spots are normal for dog’s as mentioned.<\/p>\n
Many do, but not all. Some dogs have naturally black tongues, such as Chow Chows. Whether your dog has a spotted tongue, pink tongue, or black tongue, as long as it’s not causing them any pain and your vet says they’re fine, you shouldn’t be concerned.<\/p>\n
Whether the spots just developed or they have been there the entire time, your dog will be fine. Black spots are normal 99.9% of the time. You should be worried only if they appear inflamed or your dog seems in pain.<\/p>\n
These spots will be red or appear white, and look painful. They may be flat or look like lumps, and these are not natural, they are caused by a medical issue and need to be treated. This medical issue could be ulcers, which will be any easy issue to fix. Always consult your vet before self-diagnosis.<\/p>\n
