Bichon Frise/skin tags on my bichon

Question
Our bichon seems to have what looks like skin tags on her back, head and feet. They dont seem to bother her but the ones on her back are larger and get caught from time to time, and seemed to erupt. She's a few pounds overweight would this be the likely cause. many thanks.

Answer
Hi this is more common than you think, simply have a vet look over to remove possibility of skin cancer, usually associated with older dogs and is genetic.

Wash gently and give doggy lots of love which I am sure you do , only a loving owner notices these.
