I was shaving our dog and noticed the following. See pics. Located on tail and backside (close to tail). Does not appear to be bothering him. Looks like little black dots.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is classic for flea allergy dermatitis. However, it could also be due to other types of allergies such as environmental allergies or food allergies. For that reason, I recommend you consider having him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. They may check for these possibilities and treat accordingly. Best of luck!
