Warts in dogs
Warts and other lumps are stressful things to find on your dog. There are two types of warts that commonly appear in dogs, one that affects puppies and another more common in older dogs.
Skin tags or lumps that look like warts are usually caused by a Papillomavirus. Puppies will develop small cauliflower-like growths on their lips or gums, often in small groups. Older dogs develop small tags on their skin anywhere in their body. In both cases, the growths tend to be small and usually disappear after several weeks. There are other types of skin growths that can look like warts, especially on the eyelids.
