Our 3-month Flat-Coated Retriever puppy has 2 pimple-like whiteheads on his tummy. First one appeared 4 days ago, 2nd one today. He’s got appetite, drinks plenty of water and is super energetic. It’s worth to mention that he’s only at home as he doesn’t have his third vaccination. He hasn’t had any contacts with other animals.

This could be something called puppy pyoderma, which is the rough equivalent to acne in people. Keep an eye on it and as long as it stays mild there's nothing to worry about it, most puppies outgrow it as they mature. If it does get worse, if he gets itchy, starts licking and/or chewing, then get him in to see your vet since these cases occasionally need medical intervention to heal up more quickly.
