My 3-month-old Samoyed puppy has dark spots on her skin. Is it normal?

Question

Hi, my Samoyed Puppy has slightly darkened spots on her skin. She’s now 3.5 months old and didn’t have them when I got her. She doesn’t appear to be bothered by them. Should I be concerned? Take her to the vet immediately or can she was til her appointment in two weeks? Can I treat them? She’s not neutered yet.

The pictures are pretty blurry so it is difficult to see the spots well. However, young puppies can develop little freckles or increased pigment as they get older. I suspect this is what is going on. If they are crusty, itchy, or have hairloss then they should be looked at soon. Otherwise I think it is probably fine to wait until your appointment. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
