If you've noticed a lump on your dog, he may have a lipoma. But what is a lipoma and what can your veterinarian do to treat the condition? Read on to find out more.
What is a lipoma?

While humans know to be weary of the long grass, pets often show less restraint and, in some cases, will actively chase after a disturbed snake to play catch.

Basic Vaccination Requirements
Vaccination requirements may vary, depending on the cattery and its state code of practice.
