What is this pink bump in my puppy's mouth between its teeth?

Question

Hi there, my puppy has had a weird pink bump in between his bottom front teeth for about 1.5 months now, it seems pretty hard but moves a bit, almost like a skin tag, I’ll attach a picture, sorry it’s not very good it’s really hard to get picture of the inside of a puppy’s mouth :) Just wondering if you know what it is and if it should be removed Also it doesn’t seem to be painful to him. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 3 months and 21 days old | 60 lbs

Hello. This is really difficult to evaluate from a distance, so I really think you should have this looked at soon. This could just be some benign gingival hyperplasia, but papillary squamous cell carcinoma has been described in puppies this young & should be treated aggressively. I hope you can have Arlo seen soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
