But you do want to keep an eye on them, that they do not bother them or are getting to bigger. I have had a few dogs that had these, and it did not hurt them at all. I just had the vet look at them when they went in for shots or check ups just to be on the safe side.

If they are, then there might be a problem. You could measure them or take pictures to compare.. to show your dad if you think there might be a problem.
