Hello. Calcinosis cutis is a pretty rare condition for dogs, but may be associated with the condition called hyperadrenocorticism. Please make sure Jennex has been properly tested to rule this condition out. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    The picture is a little blurry, but if Jennex has calcinosis cutis, this is likely related to his condition. I would recommend discussing these spots with his vet to determine what treatment is necessary.
