What colour should dogs' gums be?
The colour of your dog’s gums says a lot about their health, and any changes could be a sign that something is wrong. The colour of healthy dog gums varies from dog to dog, but they should generally be a bubble-gum pink or salmon colour.
Some dogs have naturally mottled gums, which isn’t something to worry about. However, if your dog’s gum colour has changed, this could be a sign of something more serious.
Our ‘dog gum colour chart‘ below can give you an indication of what could have possibly led to a change in your dog’s gums. However, remember that only a vet’s examination can determine the real cause, and your dog might need urgent treatment.
