My 7-year-old dog has black patches on her skin. Should I worry?

Just wanted to ask because my dog is 7 years old and I noticed that her skin is having black patches i don’t know if it’s because of the food or she’s allergic to something. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 4 months old | 20 lbs

Hello. Is Ginger doing any scratching or excessive licking to the area? This actually just looks like some age related skin pigmentation & if she is not licking, scratching or gnawing at her skin, then it is nothing to be worried about. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
