Here we report a case of a 7-month-old Jindo puppy with a double intussusception. On survey radiography, a soft tissue opacity mass was identified in the mid-abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a triple-circle sign. Double intussusception was diagnosed based on these findings. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed it to be a double intussusception in the small intestine. Small intestine involving the double intussusception was surgically resected followed by anastomosis. The dog had good prognosis without any complication. To the best of our knowledge, double intussusception is an extremely rare form of intestinal disease in dogs. It may cause blood supply to that section to be greatly reduced, thus causing ischemia and necrosis of the bowel tissue. Timely diagnosis with ultrasonographic findings and immediate surgical intervention are important to improve the prognosis of such cases.
