Ask the Vet: Why Do Dogs Get Blackheads?

Dogs get blackheads just as humans do, but the underlying causes may be different in dogs compared to humans. Unlike humans who get blackheads mostly on the nose, chin and forehead area (the so-called "T zone"), dogs tend to get blackheads mostly in their backs and belly areas. On top of this, something to consider is that what may seem like blackheads in dogs may be something totally different. A vet visit is therefore in order to determine exactly what may be going on. In this article, veterinarian Dr. Ivana Crnec discusses blackheads in dogs, their causes and treatment.

Ask the Vet: Why Do Dogs Get Runny Noses?

Dogs get runny noses for a variety of reasons and many may be similar to why humans get them. Unlike humans though, dogs can't just reach out for a Kleenex to temporarily halt the trickle.

Veterinarian Dr. Ivana Crnec points out several causes of runny noses in dogs.
