My dog has a lip cut from daycare. Should I treat it or see a vet?

Question

My dog came home from daycare with a cut on his lip. Is this something I can treat at home or do I need to take him into the vet? It doesn’t seem to be bothering him. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 68 lbs

It doesn’t look like the cut is actively bleeding which is good. It’s difficult to see how deep it is based on your picture, but if it is a deep puncture wound you may want to have your vet examine it to make sure antibiotics are not needed. You also may want to have your vet look in Spritz’s mouth to make sure there are no cuts or broken teeth in his mouth.
