Canine Acne

Canine AcneSome of you may not be aware but dog breeds like labrador retriever puppies can develop what is called canine acne. Canine acne usually breaks out on their chin, lips, and muzzle. It can also be associated with scabs and blackheads on their lips, chin and muzzle. While not usually harmful it can become infected which leads to many other problems.

There are several treatments for canine acne which are similiar to human treatments for acne. A trip to the vet would be your best bet and get the proper diagnosis as sometimes it could be mistaken for food allergies. A few people on the chat forums have remarked that they changed their labrador retrievers bowls from plastic to steel. Their dogs were allergic to the plastic. At any rate, if you dogs snout looks to be infected then get to a vet.
