My dog has a lump on her belly. Is it a nipple or needs vet check?

Question

Is it just a deformed nipple? Or should we take her in to get it checked out? It's on her underside. She's a Labrador and bull dog mix if that's important. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 40 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think it would be worthwhile having her evaluated to make sure that it does indeed look like a nipple and to ensure it is not something else like a mass or nodule. Based on an examination, your veterinarian would be able to tell you if this should be biopsied or not. Good luck!
