5 Things Every Dog Owner Should Know About Fatty Lumps (Lipomas)
If you've discovered a soft, sponge-like bump under your dog's skin, you're dealing with what vets call a lipoma. These fatty cushions affect nearly 1 in 50 dogs annually, with senior dogs facing dramatically higher risk. Here's what every pet parent needs to know.

1
Age Creates Dramatic Risk Increases
Dogs aged 9-12 face 17 times higher likelihood of developing fatty lumps compared to younger pets. This stark increase means virtually every senior dog owner will encounter these growths during their pet's lifetime.
Why it happens? As dogs age, their immune surveillance weakens through "immunosenescence" - like having fewer security guards patrolling the body. Abnormal cells that would normally get cleared away start slipping through the cracks.
2
About 60% of Lipomas Grow Back After Surgery
The most common fear among dog owners isn't the initial lump - it's watching fatty bumps pop up again in the exact same spot months after surgery.
The root cause: Traditional removal often leaves behind microscopic "roots" that allow the lipoma to regrow. This is why many dogs develop multiple lumps over time, creating an expensive cycle of repeated procedures.
3
Beta-Glucans Can Strengthen Your Dog's Weakened Immune System
Beta-glucans are complex fibers that work like tiny trainers for your dog's immune system. These compounds help immune cells recognize and respond to abnormal growths more effectively.
How they work: Beta-glucans bind directly to immune cells, activating the body's natural surveillance system. Think of them as upgrading your dog's internal security team to better identify and clear away problematic tissue.
4
Beta-Glucans Are Found in High Concentrations in Therapeutic Mushrooms
Quality mushroom products contain 35% beta-glucans versus only 6% in inferior alternatives. Therapeutic mushrooms like Turkey Tail, Shiitake, and Reishi naturally concentrate these powerful immune-supporting compounds.
Why mushrooms work: These fungi have evolved beta-glucans as their own immune defense system. When we extract and concentrate these compounds, they can provide similar protective benefits to our dogs' immune systems.

The Best Way to Feed These Mushrooms to Your Dog Is With Supplements
Fresh mushrooms aren't practical for most pet parents - they're hard to source, difficult to prepare safely, and dogs often won't eat them. Plus, you need specific extraction methods to concentrate the active beta-glucans.
Buddy Guard solves this problem with a patent-pending blend of 8 organic therapeutic mushrooms, standardized for maximum beta-glucan content. No fillers, no artificial ingredients - just pure, active mushroom extracts that dogs actually love the taste of. With over 10,000 dogs already benefiting and a 90-day money-back guarantee, Buddy Guard offers a safe, convenient way to give your senior dog's immune system the support it needs

My Annabelle has several large lipomas that seem to have not gotten any bigger. I'm hoping that with continued use they will start to shrink.

I am only at almost 2 months but i think the lumps haven't gotten any bigger thus far. I want to continue to see if more can happen.
