"LUMPS AND BUMPS" OFFER
A little lump can mean a lot...
Lumps and bumps are common in pets, especially as they get older. Although most pet lumps are harmless, they often still cause irritation and can develop into something more uncomfortable or serious over time.
If your pet has a lump, our experienced vets can assess it quickly and gently, helping you understand what it might be and what needs to be done. A simple check can offer reassurance - or allows us to act early if care is required.
Common types of lumps we see in pets include:
- Lipomas – soft, fatty lumps that are usually benign but may grow or affect movement
- Cysts – fluid-filled sacs that can rupture or become infected
- Warts and skin tags – often harmless but can bleed or become sore if knocked
- Abscesses – painful swellings caused by infection, commonly from bites or scratches
- Tumours – not all are cancerous, but early checks are important
When should a lump be checked?
It's best to book a vet check if a lump or bump:
- Is new or has changed in size, shape, or colour
- Appears sore, bleeds, or oozes
- Is being licked or scratched repeatedly
- Is accompanied by changes in your pet’s behaviour or wellbeing
Many lumps look similar on the surface – but only a vet can tell you what it might be and whether treatment is needed.
