If your dog has a lump, it’s crucial to get a veterinary diagnosis first. At home, you can clean the lump with mild soap and water, monitor for changes, and keep your dog from licking or scratching it. If it’s benign, apply warm compresses to reduce swelling. Never attempt to lance or biopsy the lump yourself.
