One type of bacterial infection that can look like small pus-filled bumps on your dogs belly is impetigo.

I would recommend taking Sadie to the vet to determine the cause of the pustules and to prescribe the proper treatment.

If this skin condition has already been spotted in your dogs belly it probably has spread to other areas in your dogs skin. They usually feel soft and moveable and rarely cause pain or discomfort for the dog.
