He uses plastic bowls for years with no problems, until a couple of months ago. I didn't know what it was at first. We had a visit with the vet who gave him a shot and some antibiotics. I switched his bowls to the metal kind and put peroxide on his chin twice a day. It's been about 3 weeks now and only a little bit of improvement. He still has what looks like blackheads around his lips and a couple of pustules develop here and there. Looks like he may need to go back to the vet for a check-up. Don't know what else to do.

I ended up changing her bowls to ceramic ones about 2 weeks ago when everything I found online was saying plastic bowls are bad! then I put a little peroxide on her chin about once a day, I used a cotton ball and rubbed real good in one direction away from her mouth. I was surprised to see the black specs coming off onto the cotton ball, a little more each day. Then finally a couple days ago I got it all off and it looks so much better! I just hope it never comes back! I'm going to keep up with washing her bowls everyday though...before it was like once a week. great! thanks for the tips!

We also talked to our vet about it the next time we were in and here's what they said to do; wash his chin with soap and then rinse it off. You are supposed to do this every day. Ours seemed to go away after a while when we changed to metal dishes so we didn't end up doing this but that was what our vet reccomended. Rebecca~
