Hi and thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Pimples on the body of a young puppy are likely caused by an acute allergic reaction to something he came into contact with. There is also the possibility of him having a condition called puppy strangles, which will cause spread of rather large pimples to his face, ears and neck area, and these pimples can then rupture causing discomfort for your pet. It is hard to say for sure which is likely here without a good visual of the area. I recommend considering reposting your question with a photo for a more tailored answer. If the pimples are small however, they are likely just an allergic reaction and may go away on their own, especially if there are just a few. I would recommend monitoring these to see if they get worse. I hope this helps and best of luck with your puppy Logan. Take care.
