Thanks for reaching out—skin problems in dogs can be quite worrying, but I’m here to help! There are a few reasons why your pup might have skin issues on their abdomen. Common causes include allergies (to food, fleas, or pollen), bacterial or fungal infections, or even contact irritation from lying on a particular surface.
At home, you can gently clean the affected area with a mild, dog-friendly soap and water. Make sure to dry it well because moisture can worsen the irritation. If you suspect allergies, try to recall any recent changes in their environment or diet. Regular bathing with hypoallergenic dog shampoo can also be soothing.
Keep an eye out for red flags such as excessive redness, swelling, pus, or if your dog seems to be in pain or excessively licking the area. These could indicate a more serious infection that needs immediate attention.
If there's no improvement or the situation seems to worsen, it's important to seek veterinary advice. A video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet could provide more tailored guidance for your furry friend's condition.

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
