Is my dog's skin turning dark under her armpits and belly normal?

Question

Red Fox Lab female 4years - skin colour change from pink to dark brown/Black under armpits and belly, along with seasonal coat change - gone very wirey (but think that’s normal for her) just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about? Thanks x. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 22 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Her skin looks like a normal skin color for an adult lab. It isn't abnormal for the puppy pink skin to darkened in these area to a uniform greyish brown color. the skin should still be soft and not "elephant" like which indicates excessive licking. Have a great day!
