Blackened dog balls indicate that the dog has reached sexual maturity, which is normal. If your dog’s balls appear red and swollen, he or she is ill and needs to be taken to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time. When the dog's sexual development matures, the owner can find a dog of the opposite sex for mating. If mating is not considered, it is recommended to take the dog for sterilization as soon as possible.
