What's this spot on my 6-month-old puppy's stomach? Should I worry?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 6 months and 5 days old | 37 lbs

I found this on my dog’s stomach today and I was wondering if it was something to be worried about. It doesn’t seem to bother him and he lets me touch it. He is a 6 month old mutt and he weighs about 37 lbs.

Hello. It is very difficult to tell from your picture exactly what this is, but I think it might be an inverted nipple. This is not a problem, so just show this to your veterinarian at your next visit just to be sure. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
