Ok, I’ll admit…terrible headline. But what do you do with a story like this? This is an all too common problem we see in our dogs. What am I talking about? Skin tags.

What they are is simply fat deposits along the body of your dog. As a dog grows older, you will tend to see these come out more and more. So though you won’t see them as much in younger dogs, it is common to see it more and more in your older dog.
