So about 2 months ago we noticed this skin tag on my dog’s lip (vet has seen it & says skin tag). My question, do you agree? Do skin tags grow at all (slowly... slightly... or no? What should I expect?) is the lip a commonplace to see them? Thanks

I agree that it looks like a skin tag. Around the mouth is a common place to see them, and they usually do grow a little bit, but not usually very much. I think it is most likely a benign skin tag but the only way to know for sure would be to remove it and send it out for biopsy. If it changes dramatically then I would recommend this. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
