Hi, My Schnauzer has a tennis-ball sized lipoma on his chest. We have tried a variety of nutrition plans hoping that something might slow or reverse the growth. Nothing has. As he is a schnauzer, however, we often catch him in dietary indiscretion; but I doubt it is enough to counteract the benefits of the grain-free holistic diet.

Our vet says lipoma is genetic & schnauzers and some other dogs are likely to have the mutation that causes it. She only recommends surgery if the lipoma is interfering with the dog’s movement or regular activities.
