Expert Answer

Causes include improper diet, hormonal imbalance and folliculitis. Greasy or spicy food can increase belly oil and clog pores.

Hormonal imbalance can also cause pimples, and overactive sebaceous glands can trigger folliculitis.

If these appear, see a vet. Note that many owners mistake a dog’s nipples for pimples; male dogs have nipples too.
