Hello there!
Congratulations on your new puppy! It's wonderful that you're being so observant and proactive about your little one's health. Having a spot where you think your puppy's nipple should be is not uncommon. Puppies, like adult dogs, have nipples that can be quite small and sometimes not very noticeable, depending on their fur and skin coloration.
Potential causes for an odd-looking spot could include a skin irritation, an insect bite, or even a small, harmless mole. However, it's crucial to ensure it's not something more concerning, like an infection or skin condition.
At home, you can gently check for other changes like redness, swelling, or any discharge. Try to keep the area clean and dry. Avoid applying any human products without professional guidance, as they might not be suitable for your puppy's delicate skin.
Watch for signs like persistent redness, increased size, swelling, or if the spot seems painful to your puppy when touched. A loss of appetite or changes in behavior can also indicate something more serious and warrants immediate attention.
For peace of mind and tailored advice, I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our veterinarians through Dial A Vet. We'd be happy to take a closer look and provide guidance tailored to your puppy's needs.
Looking forward to helping your furry friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
