Answer
Chad,

If the spots are not dry and itchy, I would not worry about it.  Your pug could just be going through some pigment changes.  That is not common, but I do not think it is harmful.  It does not sound like an allergic reaction.

If you notice that it is itchy or irritated, you should see a vet and have her skin checked out.

Hope that helps,
