Is there any point in taking a dog to the vets if they have lumps and you don't want any treatment?

she's 13,terrified of vets,always poos in the waiting room.
I think they'd probably want to biopsy them which I think os pointless really if we don't wnat any treatment.
She's not suffering any pain or discomfort from them at all.Two largish lumps.

Without a doubt I'd say they're fatty lumps. Absolutely nothing to worry about. But I'm bumping for BG just to make sure. x

No don't bother having them done. if you did at her age it would only be cosmetic if they are really not rubbing anywhere/troubling her.

my dog is 15 and had 2 large lumps and when we saw the vet over something else he said to leave them but when he went in a few months later to have major dental work done, the vet removed the lumps too while he was under anaesthetic.

I would really not put her through the stress of it as it is not needed. If she were younger, maybe as lumps in young dog not always fatty lumps/warts/fluid filled cysts.
