Pet Biopsies and Tumor Removal
At Riverfront Vet, we know how worrisome it can be to find a lump or growth on your pet, and we’re here to help with expert care and guidance.
Understanding Pet Tumors
Lumps and bumps are common in pets, but not all are harmful. Some may be benign (non-cancerous), while others could be malignant (cancerous) and require prompt attention. It’s important to schedule an exam if you notice:
- A new lump or bump on your pet’s body
- A previously small lump that has grown in size
- Changes in the shape, color, or texture of a lump
- Lumps that are causing discomfort or irritation
Early detection and diagnosis can make a significant difference in your pet’s health and well-being.

What to Expect During a Pet Biopsy
If your veterinarian recommends a biopsy, the process typically involves collecting a small tissue sample from the affected area. This sample is then sent to a laboratory for evaluation. Once results are available, our team will discuss the findings and outline the next steps: monitoring, medication, or surgical removal.
