Hello, My dog has this white bump inside his lip and I am wondering if he should go to the vet or would it go away in its own... he doesn't s seem to be bothered by it. Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Basenji | Male | neutered | 8 months and 18 days old

That looks like a viral papilloma to me. Papillomas are benign and tend to go away on their own. However, it is impossible to diagnose a growth on just a picture alone so if the growth gets larger or gets irritated it's worth having your veterinarian look at it up close.
