pet’s breed: chow/australian cattle dog
pet’s age: 5yrs
pet’s sex: male
previous treatment:

None yet

QUESTION:

I need to know how many nipples my male dog should have. I have come across what I thought was a tick, but after looking throughly. I discovered what I found could be two small nipples located the same width apart from his penis. Which look as though they are part of the skin. Please help

ANSWER
Dear,

Dogs (even males) have nipples. Usually they have 4 pairs. So in this case you might hurt your dogs nipples. If you have any doubt, please contact your vet.

Truly,
