Most pets will develop a lump on or under the skin at some point in their life, and some pets may develop several.
It is impossible to know for certain what a lump is just by looking at it.
Many different types of tumour can look and feel identical, especially those that sit under the skin.
However, making sure you feel your pet every few months will help you to understand what is normal, so you can spot any lumps and bumps early on.

When checking your pet take things slow, and stop if they seem unduly concerned at any point.

WELLPET BLOODS ✨

Did you know? Serious medical conditions in pets can go undetected for up to two years without noticeable symptoms.

Regular routine blood screening can help to detect ‘hidden’ disease early. Your Well Pet Blood Screen will:

🩷Screen for conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes
💚Help us to identify early signs of disease such as anaemia, electrolyte imbalances and protein loss
💜Well Pet Blood Screens are designed for pets with no outward signs of disease.

They are available in conjunction with routine vaccination, six month health check, or senior pet clinic attendance.

Members of the Healthy Pet Club receive a 20% discount on the cost of screening - for more information and the full list of benefits:

Occasionally, antibiotics are used to prevent infection, where an infection is considered very likely, or where infection could be catastrophic (such as after surgeries like a hip replacement).
However, bacteria can develop a resistance to antibiotics.
As pet owners, you can help protect from antibiotic-resistant infections by giving all medications as prescribed, including finishing the course, and returning unused or leftover medication to the clinic for safe disposal.
You can find out more about this here in our blog:

If you’re thinking of introducing a dog to your family, the two most common routes are adopting a rescue via a shelter or charity, or finding a puppy - ideally from a responsible and ethical breeder.
Bringing any pet into your home requires careful thought, commitment and dedication.
Each route comes with pros and cons and a different set of responsibilities to consider.
We’ve examined some of
them here: bit.ly/4k34pj
