My dog has a small white growth on his tongue. Should I worry?

Question

I have this adorable Queensland healer,lab mix. Recently I've noticed he has some type of small, white pea shaped growth with indentations on the left side of his tongue. I have done some research and have seen many different diagnosis but I am no expert. It doesn't seem to bother him but it's there. Is this something I should be worried about? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 56 lbs

Hi! This is something I would suggest having checked by your vet. There are, of course, all sorts of benign growths that can occur, but dogs do sometimes get some pretty aggressive tumours in their mouthes. So, ideally, it would be great to take Gunner in to have the area checked. Best of luck!
