Cutaneous papillomatosis is a viral skin condition caused by canine papillomaviruses, which trigger the rapid growth of cells on the skin's surface. This results in the formation of benign, or non-cancerous, skin growths commonly known as warts. Because this is an infectious viral disease rather than a heritable genetic condition, it is not passed down through a dog's genes.
Owners will typically notice small, round, or cauliflower-like warts on the skin, most frequently appearing around the face, mouth, or limbs. These growths are most common in young dogs with developing immune systems or older dogs with weakened immunity.
The condition is highly treatable, and the warts often resolve on their own without intervention as the dog's immune system matures. If the growths become irritated, infected, or require a one-time surgical removal, treatment costs typically range from 100 to 800 EUR.
