Pet Lump Checks in Essex
Found a lump or bump on your pet? Whether it’s a small pea-sized lump under the skin, a swelling that’s appeared suddenly, or a growth that seems to be getting bigger, it’s always worth getting it checked by a vet. At Ivy Lodge Veterinary Clinic in Brentwood, Essex, we provide calm, thorough pet lump checks for both dogs and cats, with clear advice on the next steps.
Some lumps are harmless (such as cysts or fatty lumps), while others may need testing or removal. A proper examination is the best way to understand what you’re dealing with and to plan the safest treatment for your pet.
What Happens at a Pet Lump Check?
During a lump check appointment, we’ll examine your pet gently, assess the size, shape and position of the lump, and talk through what you’ve noticed at home. If needed, we may recommend further testing (such as a needle sample) or discuss whether removal is the best option.
A pet lump check may include:
- A full physical examination and discussion of any changes you’ve noticed
- Measuring and recording the lump (and checking for others)
- Advice on monitoring versus testing or removal
- A clear plan and estimated costs if further treatment is required
Dog Lump Testing and Removal
Dogs can develop lumps and bumps for many reasons, including fatty lumps, cysts, warts and other skin growths. Because it’s not possible to tell what a lump is just by looking, we recommend having any new or changing lump checked promptly.

Cat Lump Testing and Removal
Cats can also develop a wide range of lumps and swellings, from cysts and benign skin growths to abscesses from bites and more serious tumours. Cats often hide discomfort, so a lump check is a sensible first step even if your cat seems otherwise well.
