Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Any new growth or lump on your dog's paw, or anywhere else on their body, should be evaluated by a veterinarian. While many growths are benign (non-cancerous) fatty tumors or cysts, some can be more serious, such as mast cell tumors or other types of cancer. Early detection is key for successful treatment if it is malignant. Your vet will likely perform a physical examination and may recommend a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or biopsy to determine the nature of the growth. Do not try to remove or treat it yourself. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
