Is redness under my 2-year-old dog's vulva normal or concerning?

Hello, thank you for your question about Goldie. Based on the photo and the symptoms you are describing I would suspect that this redness is secondary to some mild irritation or a very mild bacterial infection. If she is otherwise acting ok I would recommend continuing to monitor this area. If at any point Goldie begins licking or you notice a colored/odorous discharge I would recommend having her evaluated by your veterinarian so that they can evaluate this area and perform other diagnostics such as an impression smear or culture of the area. Hope this helps!
