Red Marks on Your Dog’s Belly? It Might Just Be Fly Bites
If you’ve noticed red, irritated-looking circles on your dog’s stomach, don’t panic—according to Morinville Veterinary Clinic in Alberta, these are often harmless fly bites. The clinic shared on Facebook that these bites, usually from black flies, are common in spring and typically heal on their own without treatment.
Though they look concerning, they rarely bother dogs. However, experts still recommend monitoring for other symptoms, as similar marks could signal allergies or different pests.
The takeaway? These bites are usually no big deal—but if you’re unsure, always consult your vet.
