What can cause dogs to have pale gums?
Answer Pale gums can be a sign of anemia. If he normally has pink gums, then it definitely could be. Some dogs normally have pale gums, and if he is acting normal – normal appetite, water consumption, bowel movements, etc. – then it is likely nothing to worry about. However, if his behavior has changed, he’s not eating or is very lethargic then you need to take him to a vet soon to find out exactly what is going on with him.
