My frenchie has a growth on his tail that has continuously grown over the past few weeks. He doesn’t have any pain and doesn’t act bothered when I touch it. What is it? Should I have it removed?

It looks like a histiocytoma. If it is one, it may go away on it's own without surgery. I suggest you have your vet take a look at it in person. They can advise you better after checking it. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952066 )
