My dog has bump on his skin. It doesn't look like it has grown. It's almost like a skin tag. It doesn't bother him and it is not a normal bump or mole.

This could be something or nothing. You should get this checked out! It is the same as if you found a growth on your own body. You would get it checked out ,to make sure that it isn't harmful to your health. Your fur baby deserves the same treatment. Take him as soon as you are able. Better to know, then not!
It sort of looks like a mole that the dogs get on their skin. I would keep an eye on this and if it continues to grow or change colors I would have it looked at by your vet.
Hi,
As long as the bump does not grow or cause discomfort, it is probably best left alone. Sometimes these things grow back when they are removed.
I am a very overly cautious pet mom because I have had bad experiences. It is the old adage if you see something say something...here say something to the vet ASAP.
Why...because my one pup (who G-d bless her lived to 17 1/2 years old) had an assortment of lumps and bumps and marks like this over the years. The one time I ignored a new one, it turned out to be a growth that had to be removed several months later and I was told if I had caught it right away the surgery would have been less invasive--it grew deep not outward. . She was fine--but I still have guilt!
Please have it checked! Best getting a professional opinion telling you not to worry...not taking any kind of medical advice from social media! Thanks for listening! Prayers for healing and I hope the vet says not to worry!! Blessings!!
I hope you have found out good news about your dog and he will be okay.
If you have not taken him to a vet (for whatever reason) then you might want to consider seeing if his vet does online consultations as these can be done over the phone either by the vet seeing the problem or by pictures sent over the phone.
If your vet does not use this service, there are lots of vets online, approved by ASPCA that will take new cases.
Anyone interested can check it out online:
Fees vary depending on the type of advice you seek: a 15-minute virtual veterinary exam is usually about $25, a 30-minute behavior or training session is about $30, and a 30-minute nutrition and diet consultation is also about $30.
