My dog has small white bumps on his tongue. When should I see a vet?

Question

Winston has a few little white bumps on his tongue (two on one side and three on the other). They don’t seem to bother him but they’ve been there a week now. Do we need to take him into his vet? Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 7 months and 16 days old | 63 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Given that growths with that appearance in this region are quite unusual and they have only been present for a short amount of time, it would be ok to continue to monitor this a bit longer before getting too worried as this may be something that will subside on its own. I recommend that you continue to monitor him for now and if this does not resolve in the next 2-3 weeks, have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. Good luck and have a great day!
