What is that on the belly?

Expert Answer

If you mean the spot on the dog’s abdomen with a tuft of hair, that is the male dog’s penis. The hair at the tip helps direct urine and avoid direct bacterial contact, so never trim it.

The symmetric grain-like bumps on both sides of the belly are the dog’s nipples. These are normal male organs and physiological structures; there is no need to worry.
