A little lump can mean a lot

Lumps and bumps are common in pets, especially as they get older. Most are harmless, but some can cause discomfort or change over time.

If you’ve noticed a lump, it’s worth having it checked. Our vets can assess most lumps quickly and gently, helping you understand what it is and what needs to happen next. Often, a simple check brings peace of mind. And if treatment is needed, we can act early and guide you through it.

We’re offering a lump check with a vet for £25 until 24 May 2026. To book your pet’s lump check, contact us directly or book a vet consultation online and when selecting a reason, choose Lump Check.

Some of the more common lumps and bumps in pets include:

  • Lipomas – soft, fatty lumps that are usually harmless but can grow or affect movement
  • Cysts – fluid-filled sacs that can burst or become infected
  • Warts and skin tags – often harmless but can become sore if caught or knocked 
  • Abscesses – painful swellings caused by infection, often from bites or scratches 
  • Tumours – not all are cancerous, but it’s important to check them early

It’s worth booking a vet check if a lump or bump 

  • Is new or has changed in size, shape, or colour 
  • Seems sore, or starts to bleed or ooze
  • Is being licked or scratched more than usual
  • Comes with changes in your pet’s behaviour or general wellbeing

Many lumps can look similar on the surface, but our vets have the expertise to tell you what it is and whether anything needs to be done.

Got a question? 

Do I need to be an existing client? 
No. You’re welcome to book whether you’re new to us or already registered. 

Will my pet need to be sedated? 
Most lumps can be checked without sedation. If we need to look more closely, your vet will talk you through the options. 

What happens if treatment is recommended? 
Your vet will explain what they’ve found in clear, simple terms and guide you through the next steps, so you can decide what’s right for your pet.
