How To Check Your Dog For Lumps | Pet Health Advice
Learn how to check your dog for lumps:
It’s a good idea to regularly feel your dog for lumps, especially as they get older. In this video, PDSA Vet Nina demonstrates how to check your dog for lumps in 5 simple steps:
Step 1 – Start at their head and check their ears, eyes, and mouth.
Step 2 – Slowly and gently following the direction of their fur run your hands over their whole body.
Step 3 – Don’t forget to check their legs, tail, bottom, and genitals.
Step 4 – Be careful when feeling their mouth, tummy, and back end, as many dogs don’t like being touched in these places.
Step 5 – Remember – nipples are normal in both female and male dogs, so don’t mistake these for lumps.
