My cocker spaniel has a mouth mass. Is it serious if he acts normal?

Question

Hi there, I came across a mass inside my male cocker spaniels mouth. It has me very worried. He is 5 years old, acts totally normal and doesn't have signs of bad breathe or bleeding or chewing bones. Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Male | neutered | 25 lbs

oral growths can be aggressive so this should be scheduled to be removed or biopsied as soon as possible to see what it is. The good news is a large percentage of these are not cancerous, but still may be invasive. They are known as an epulis. It is best to have it removed while it is still small so it will be removed completely.
