Hello. I’ve noticed this lump on my dog for a couple months now. I was never concerned of it at first, but I am starting to wonder what it may be? He has had lumps removed before that turned out to not be cancer. His vet has seen him within the time frame that he has had this lump and hasn’t said anything about it. It’s soft and squishy to the touch. Doesn’t bother him at all. Hasn’t changed size or color. What could it be? I have photo attached.

It could be as simple as a wart, older dogs do tend to end with a few. Keep an eye on it and if it changes at all, get your vet to have a look to make sure it isn't something more serious. If your dog has a procedure done, like a dental cleaning, they can take that off at the same time, since sometimes these lumps and bumps can get irritated and inflamed if they are located in an area he can scratch or get it caught on something,
