Hi everyone,
My 6-month-old puppy has a black spot in the middle of his tongue, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. Does anyone know what this might be, please?

Hi there,
Black spots on the tongue are almost always harmless, especially in a puppy so young. They’re just areas of hyperpigmentation, similar to our own freckles or moles, and they’re perfectly natural and common in certain breeds like Labradors.
You only really need to worry if the spot becomes hard, increases in size, or seems painful to the touch. That said, you can always show it to your vet next time you’re there just for peace of mind.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Amélie
Hi, do you have a photo so we can see what you mean?
Has he always had this spot, or did it appear recently?
