(Not a Dog Question?)

My dog has a small bump on his belly about 1 inch above his penis

He is a puppy 9 weeks old. We have had him for about 1 week. Is it normal to have a small bump (looks like 2 peas) or should I take him to the vet?

Next time you see the vet for shots ask about the bump. If is about where a belly button might be this could be an umbilical hernia. Those are easily repaired at the same time the dog is neutered.
Hope this helps you!
