Anemia is a process characterized by decreased number of erythrocytes (He), hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and / or hematocrit (Ht) below normal values. This study aimed to classify and recognize the main causes of anemia in dogs. We identified 359 (37.04%) dogs with Hb less than 12g/dL. Gender does not influence the presence of anemia, while age and race was no difference. The animals breed and younger (up to 12 months) were the most affected. Most animals showed a non- regenerative anemia with minimal degree of regeneration (167/359; 46.51%). Regarding the size and hemoglobin content of the normochromic anemia were more frequent in the study (89.41%). Taking into account the hematocrit, 88.85 % had mild anemia, 5.01 % moderate , 4.17 % severe . The higher incidence of etiological causes were infectious and traumatic surgical correction. Among the infectious causes distemper, parvovirus, ehrlichiosis and babesiosis were higher incidences. Causes of traumatic / surgical fractures, dystocia, spinal trauma, cervical and dislocations accounted for 73.4%. Additional studies on anemia and its causes should be conducted because their impact on the health of affected animals and seeking best therapeutic veterinarian. Keywords: erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, reticulocytes.
