Hematological and serum biochemical analyses are routinely used to screen dogs for disease and monitor their clinical progression. These values in dogs may be affected by internal factors, such as breed and age, and external factors like environment, diet, and lifestyle. Apparently, subclinical breed-related variations in hematologic and serum biochemical results have been characterized for Bernese Mountain dogs, Alaskan Malamutes, English Setters, and Golden Retrievers. It is possible that some breed-related differences in clinical pathology analyses may reflect evidence of underlying disease and impact clinical decision plan. In this study, we estimated hematologic and serum biochemical parameters in small breed dogs and compared among four different breed dogs. Blood samples were collected from 38 domestic dogs that were 10 Beagles, 9 Malteses, 10 Poodles, and 9 Miniature Schnauzers. In terms of RBC count, Beagle (7.2±0.24×103 cells/ L) showed significantly (P＜0.05) higher count than other breeds (Maltese, 6.51±0.25×103 cells/ L; Poodle, 6.35±0.24×103 cells/ L; and Miniature Schnauzer, 6.35±0.25×103 cells/ L). For MCV, Miniature Schnauzer (67.05±0.84 fl) results were significantly (P＜0.05) higher than Beagle with 64.33±0.8 fl. For cholesterol value, Beagle (163.3±9.15 mg/dl) had significantly (P＜0.05) higher values than Miniature Schnauzer with 119.12±9.64 mg/dl. There was no statistically difference among breeds in terms of enzyme markers of liver diseases. In conclusion, data obtained from this study may be valuable as breed-related variability for interpretation of the results in hematologic and serum biochemical analysis among four small breed dogs.
