Sometime this year I noticed Shaqua now has some "moles" on her face. A couple real close to her eye, and another right below her eye. Is this normal for an aging dog? At what point do you worry about things like these? They look like moles or skin tags that we humans get. It keeps tricking me thinking she has a tick but...nope.

My 13 year old dog Samantha had something like that right on the rims of her eyes. They didn't show up until she was around 11 or 12 years of age. Every once in a while they would burst and bleed for a bit, but never really bothered her. I left them alone rather than take her to the vet and risk something happening while she was under the anesthesia.

I found one on Saber a couple of months ago. It's between his left eye and ear. You can't see it just by looking at him. I happened to be petting him and noticed a slight bump, so I parted his hair and it looks exactly like a skin tag us humans get. It doesn't seem to bother him so I'm not too worried about it.

My old had something similiar right by her eye and a big one on the front of her right front leg the vet told us not to worry but did remove them for free when we had to send her in for an enormous tumor (we thought it was the size of a golf ball but when removed was at least the size of a softball if not a little bigger) popping up on her back. If she hadnt needed the tumor removed we would have left them alone. If your worried I would have them looked at just to be sure .

Roxy has these same spots. My wife works as a Vet tech and said they are just old age spotsand your right they really do look just like skin tags. Im sure they are the same thing.
