doesn't seem to have any effect to him at all, but i'm just curious to see if i should go and get him check out??






Hi
Yes, puppies can get pimples but there are a whole host of different reasons for them and only a vet can make an accurate diagnosis.

Allergies, parasites, infections, warts, cysts.... all of these can cause rashes, pimples, itching and so on and it's impossible for me to say which it is, if any. However, your vet should be able to.

So, if your pup develops any more pimples, or this one returns or gets worse, have you vet take a look so that you can get any treatment that's necessary.

Best of luck with your puppy.
