Noticed this on my dogs “elbow” I’m not sure if it’s just from him laying down or if I should take him to the vet...

It looks like an elbow callous that is a bit irritated. If Kenai isn't bothered by it, you can choose to monitor him at home. Watch for lameness, swelling, bleeding or excessive licking. Provide a well padded bed for him to lay down.
