I just noticed my dog has a red tint on his mouth.. I opened his mouth and saw a red ring right above his teeth, yet his gums are pink and his teeth are white. What could this be? Does it require a trip to the vet?

I see what you mean about Spotzy and the tint. It could be a sign of damage to the gums or a sign of dental disease. Without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain what is going on with him. I do recommend getting it checked out by a vet to be safe. Give his vet a call now to make him an appointment. Best of luck.
