The typical instance of age spots in your dog will begin gradually. Sometime between 5 to 7 years, depending on your dog’s breed and coat color, you may begin seeing smallish dark brown areas of pigmentation on their belly. The size and number of these areas will increase as your dog ages.
Hyperpigmentation is a darkening and thickening of the skin seen in dogs. It is not a specific disease but a reaction of a dog’s body to certain conditions. Hyperpigmentation appears as light-brown-to-black, velvety, rough areas of thickened, often hairless skin. This might look like spots but they are not.
