There are some grape sized cyst like formations under my dog's skin. Anyone had similar experience? Know if these are common? My dog's breed is doberman.

My dog is older and the vet checked it already, these are harmless they said, however I am concerned, because they told us to keep an eye on them.

Very common especially in older dogs. How old is your dog. My dog just turned 9 and we found several. My vet said because of her age and they don't seem to be bothering her they are going to leave them. They are just fatty cysts.

I would get it checked out by the vet. While it could just be a cyst it could be a mass cell tumor (our dog developed them around age 5 and eventually had to be put down, it is a type of cancer). Better to be safe than sorry, see a vet.
