Hello!

My dog is almost 9, staffy x.

He has a couple of small lumps that feel like they're "in the skin"- vet not worried.
In the same area he now has several of these weird little skin tag type growths- initially the vet said skin tags but they look like they're getting bigger. The area around them is now a bit scabby and bumpy too- but possible he's been scratching it.

I'll book him in for another check up but has anyone seen this before- do they look like skin tags?

My Staffy was like this, he got lumpy and bumpy as he got older. He also had dry skin and could get a bit flaky. I had a shampoo for that and I gave him fish oil with his good. I think some breeds are more prone to it than others.

My dog is covered in these lumps and also gets little cysts, apparently it’s an aging thing.

The picture isn't very clear, but could they be warts?

Our beagle is nearly 8 and has grown a few fatty lumps and tags over the last year or so - it's very normal in older dogs.
