Found this bald spot on my 1.5 year old male lab. He doesnt seem to be bothered by it. Not really red or flaky. Should I be worried?

The patch looks like it could be demodex mites. This takes a microscopic exam to diagnose. These are mites that are common in young dogs. If it is demodex often 1 lesion will evenually reaolve on its own, but occasionally will need therapy. I would encourage you to have Emmet evaluated by your veterinarian soon. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
