- Warts are most commonly seen in the mouth, nose or eyes, but skin warts can show up around the footpads, legs or groin area.
- They start as a rough patch of pink-to-white skin, and as they develop they may become darker and lumpy, resembling cauliflower.
- Your dog may only have one wart, or they may occur as an eruption of multiple warts.
- The most common canine wart, Canine Papilloma Virus (CPV), is benign and cannot be transmitted to humans or other non-canine animals. This is the type seen most often in the mucous membranes of younger dogs.
- Skin warts occur more often on the abdomen of older dogs. They are slower-growing than CPV and while most often benign can, in rare cases, develop into cancer.
