My dog has a weird growth on his paw. Should I be worried?

Answer
Any new growth or lump on your dog's paw should be examined by a veterinarian. While many growths are benign (non-cancerous), some can be malignant (cancerous) or cause discomfort depending on their location and type. It could be anything from a wart, a cyst, a foreign body reaction, or a tumor. 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. Early detection is key for many conditions. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
