They could be lipomas which are common benign fatty lumps in dogs. The only way to know for sure is to have your vet do a fine needle aspirate and cytology. This is a very simple procedure that is commonly performed. If your vet is not able to get a diagnosis on cytology then removal and biopsy may be recommended.
