My dog's eye corner is brownish. Is it normal or needs a vet?

Question

One of my dogs eyes is brownish in the corner but the other is regular white. It doesn’t seem inflamed or to be bothering him at all. Should he see the vet or is this normal? I tried to attach a picture if you zoom in on the inner corner. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

Oh my! Einston is adorable! The area I believe you are talking about is the 3rd eyelid which is in the very inside corner of each eye. It is normal for a 3rd eyelid to be white, pink or brown. And dogs that have variable fur color often have some variation in the color of their 3rd eyelids. I would be sure to have your veterinarian verify that what you are looking at is his 3rd eyelid at his next regular appointment. If you notice any redness, squinting or tearing, be sure to have Einston's eye examined by your veterinarian right away. I hope that was helpful.
