My dog has white spots on his face. Is it vitiligo or something else?

Question

Hi. My dog has gotten these white spots on one side of his face. I am clueless as to what could be causing this. He is on Bravecto so it can’t be ticks and fleas. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 35 lbs

Hello, Thanks for the great photo! Fedro is very cute. Good work on the Bravecto as well. f the skin under the fur is red, itchy, or scabbed, this could be a sign of an underlying skin problem or infection. If the skin is otherwise fine, this could be a case of vitiglio, which causes benign patches of color loss. I'd consult with Fedro's veterinarian if you're concerned.
