Puppy Warts

What are Puppy Warts?
Puppy warts are caused by the Canine Papilloma virus and is typically seen in dogs under 2 years of age.  The warts are generally located in the mouth or on the lips of affected dogs.  (See Photo)

How do I get rid of the warts?
Puppy warts generally fall off in 4-16 weeks.  No veterinary treatment is typically necessary.

What does Woof Dah! do to prevent the transmission of Puppy Warts?
Our staff will immediately separate any dog from the group that is found to have puppy warts.  Unfortunately, puppy warts are contagious for up to 3 months before the warts form, so there is no way for us to completely prevent the spread of the warts.
