What's this painless dark spot on my dog's leg? Should I worry?

Question

There's a dark spot on her right leg, but she doesn't seem to feel any pain when I put pressure on it. But I'm not sure what it is or how she could have gotten it. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 8 years old | 10 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely just a change in skin pigmentation and not a concern at all. If it ever becomes bumpy or develops a mass effect, have her evaluated by a veterinarian. Otherwise, she is going to be fine. Best of luck!
