Extensive exophytic pigmented viral plaques developed on a Chihuahua dog causing pruritus and discomfort. Neither the medical treatments used nor a papillomavirus vaccine resulted in clinical improvement. Laser surgery removed some plaques, yet others developed. This case illustrates the difficulty in treating viral plaques and the progressive nature of this disease.
