Are brown spots on my dog's groin normal if they darken over time?

Question

Hello, My Chihuahua has these brown spots that have appeared om his groin. They starred out a little lighter and became slightly darker over time. One appeared about 2 months ago and the other two have shown up since then. I know some sun spots are normal, I just wanted to make sure it was normal for them to show up gradually and darken over time. No other symptoms like itching, redness, etc. Just the spots. Thanks for your time! Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 7 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pepe. They appear to be normal pigment changes on his abdomen. If they are flat with no ulcerated or open areas, you should not have to worry. You can certainly ask his veterinarian next time he is in, but I do not think he requires a special visit at this time. I hope this information helps!
