4 Natural Home Remedies for Fatty Tumors in Dogs

 

If you’ve found a lump on your dog, or are worried they may have cancer, it can be very stressful and worrisome! It’s always a difficult experience to face a possible cancer diagnosis for a beloved pet

 

However, while finding a lump is scary, not all lumps or tumors are cancerous! That’s good news! In fact, the lump you found on your dog may be a fatty tumor, otherwise known as lipoma.

 

 

What causes fatty tumors in dogs? Can they be cancerous? Are there natural remedies for fatty tumors in dogs? How to shrink a dog lipoma naturally? We will look at the answers to all these questions in this article.

 

We are a group of animal lovers and animal advocates who want to use our knowledge and expertise to help you! We know that thousands of pet parents around the world are looking for the best ways to treat their pet’s health concerns, and we have been helping in this domain for over 20 years.

 

I hope you find all the information presented in this article helpful so you can identify, understand, and treat canine lipoma!

 

Any other questions you might have about different cancers affecting dogs are answered in our complete guide to dog cancer.

 

 

What Is Lipoma In Dogs?

 

Lipomas are fatty lumps that are commonly found in dogs, just under the skin. They are tumors made up of fat cells. 

 

Thankfully, although these tumors are common, they are not cancerous. They are considered benign, meaning they aren’t at risk of spreading to other areas of the body, and they generally won’t cause your pup any pain!

 

A type of cancerous tumor found in the fat cells are called liposarcomas. These are rare, but they can be more dangerous, and have the ability to metastasize, or spread, to other body parts. 

 

What causes fatty tumors in dogs? Experts aren’t exactly sure what causes them to appear, but it seems that they affect middle-aged and older dogs more often, as well as dogs that are very overweight. 

 

Some breeds that seem to be affected more frequently are Labrador Retrievers and Doberman Pinschers. 

 

 

 

What Do Fatty Tumors Look Like In Dogs?

 

In most cases, a pet parent will notice a small, round lump under the skin. They are normally soft rather than hard, and you might be able to move it with your hand. 

 

Some canine lipomas can get very big - the same size of your dog’s head! You might notice that a lump grows larger over time. Each fatty tumor is different, and some grow fast, while others don’t seem to grow at all.

 

You should keep an eye on any lumps you notice on your dog to monitor any growth. 

 

Sometimes dogs can have several lipomas at one time. If you notice multiple lumps on your dog, you should have each one individually checked out! It’s important to make sure that each tumor is diagnosed to make sure you can follow the right treatment. 

 

Depending on your dog's tumor, your vet might recommend surgery to remove it. Even though most lipomas don’t cause problems, sometimes they can grow too big, and start negatively affecting the dog.

 

 

Natural Remedies For Fatty Tumors and Lipoma in Dogs

 

Many pet parents are interested in knowing how to get rid of fatty tumors without surgery. They are often looking for a dog lipoma natural treatment. Thankfully, there are natural products that can help your effort while you are looking to treat and shrink fatty tumors in dogs at home. Such as tumeric, apple cider vinegar, violet and the piptoporus betulinus mushroom.

 

There are some natural herbs that have been used to treat lipomas in dogs, as well as some general suggestions about a healthy lifestyle for your pet.

 

First of all, you want to make sure everything you put on and in your pup’s body is good for them and will improve their health! This applies to food, shampoos, medications, and any other products you might use on them.

 

Some commercial dog foods and shampoos contain certain chemicals that might harm your pet, or weaken their immune system. If that happens, their body isn’t able to fight any tumors the way it should!

 

It’s important to do lots of research to make sure we take care of our pet’s health. Before starting any treatment plans, make sure to research any potential side effects, as well as consider your dog’s specific circumstances so you can make safe, informed decisions about  your pup’s health!

 

Some Natural Herbal products For Lipoma in Dogs

  1. Turmeric
  2. Apple Cider Vinegar

I have a medium size dog with fatty tumors and wish to get rid of it best i can naturally. You answered someone sharing privately the recommended the 4 home remedies as: turmeric, apple cider vinegar, violet & piptoporus betulinus. Is there a capsule/medication that includes all these ingredients or must they be bought separately & is violet in an oil form or powder? I’m curious as to where I could find these products, dosage, etc. Could you possibly send me more information on where or how to obtain these? Thank you so much!!

Hi Denyse,
My dog Dozzer has a hard lump on his hinny not far from the base of his tail, the vet said its like a cyst/boil & will eventually break open, not to worry about it unless it painful to him. He also has a soft bump that has grown quickly about where a bellybutton is. He is 12 yrs old , American/Staffshire Terrier.He’s energetic, playful eats,drinks, & a happy dog but tires sooner than he used to. He still jumps in the truck only when I’m right there to catch him if he falls, I know that day will come, sadly. Vet also said he ha a tumor in his right testicle but couldn’t nuter him due ta blockage in his throat he has ha since 6 from biting golf course sprinkler, the big ones. I didn’t live on course I worked on 1 at the time.
It’s a small hard lump, but know way to send to be biopsied..

I also have to fatty tumors on my back & would like to be able use just 1 for the both of us, for he is taking vitamins bone broth, RX Nutrigest, colostrum, Gaviscon when his stomach acts up, & Animal Essentials for dogs, & it’s starting to get hard to keep up with, I’m old & so is my memory..He is on a all raw diet, Fish Beef & Pork almost all fat cut from it, for it upsets his tummy immediately but I thro in a little Asperger & Applesauce, Parsley, Mint & sometimes a bit of squash from my plate.
I try so hard to give him the best so his last yrs are happy & fun not painful & depressing for I know what it’s like.nut SSDI from a corrupt Govt forces me into poverty, so I’m very limited…But he comes first what ever is best for him I need
Thank You Denyse &
Go Bless .

I read your article regarding home remedies for lipomas in dogs & my little guy has a small lipoma on his chest. It named the 4 home remedies as: turmeric, apple cider vinegar, violet & piptoporus betulinus. Is there a capsule/medication that includes all these ingredients or must they be bought separately & is violet in an oil form or powder? I’m curious as to where I could find these products, dosage, etc. Could you possibly send me more information on where or how to obtain these? Thank you -- look forward to hearing from you.

I have 3 dogs that all have developed these fatty lumps. They are beginning to pop up all over. I am beginning to get concerned as my husband and I have changed their food and treats. They are getting up there in age, as they are 8, 9 and now 10 years old this year. My American Bulldog has these lumps on her feet and between her toes- she will lick and cause them to break open and bleed. I would like something to shrink them and suggest better food possibilities.
