There are several types of tumors that affect dogs. Some are benign, but some are deadly to dogs, and tumors should always be checked by a veterinarian.
Lipomas, fatty deposits just under the skin, are very common and not dangerous. They are not painful and removal is at the discretion of the dog owner and/or veterinarian. Mammary gland tumors, melanomas and fibrosarcomas are more dangerous and require prompt medical attention. Early detection is the key to the most successful outcomes.
