Nova can get pimples just like humans. It is very common in bulldogs, boxers and other breeds that have large jowls as the chin tends to stay more moist and humid. You can get some special pads from your veterinarian that are safe to use and pets that you can use to cleanse the area. Keeping her food and water bowls very clean can help. Also make sure her chew toys are cleaned on a regular basis. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
