Skin tags are small, benign growths that can appear on dogs of any age, breed, or size. They are typically soft, fleshy, and pedunculated, meaning they are attached to the skin by a thin stalk. Skin tags are usually harmless, but they can be unsightly and sometimes become irritated or infected. There are a few different ways to remove skin tags on dogs, including surgery, cryotherapy, and ligation.
The most common method of skin tag removal is surgery. This involves surgically excising the skin tag from the skin. Surgery is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia. However, it does require a veterinarian to perform the surgery, and there is always a risk of complications, such as bleeding, infection, or scarring.
