Anemia is a common hematological disorder in dogs that causes signs such as pale mucous membranes, weakness, exercise intolerance, syncope, etc. The causes can be varied; however, the epidemiology of the diseases varies by geographic area. The objective of the present study was to determine the types, severity, and main causes of anemia in canine patients older than 6 months who were treated at the Centro Veterinario Docente Cayetano during the period 2019 - 2022. The type of study was retrospective and descriptive, where the condition of anemia was determined, in addition to the etiology based on the clinical history and complementary laboratory tests. For this, anemia was classified according to the value of MCV/MCHC, severity, and the condition of infectious, neoplastic, inflammatory, renal, endocrine diseases, acute blood loss, immune-mediated disease, parasitic infestations, and undetermined cause. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine the differences in the erythrocyte parameters of each disease group, and the Fisher exact test was used to determine the association between the age group and severity in relation to the group of diseases causing anemia. It was found that infectious diseases were the main group causing anemia, with lower values of erythrocytes, hematocrit and hemoglobin, and that it was associated with macrocytic and severe anemia. Young dogs were associated with infectious diseases and elderly dogs with neoplasias, on the other hand, infectious diseases were associated with severe anemia unlike non-infectious diseases. The results obtained could be useful to have updated information on the cases that contribute to implementing prevention measures and diagnostic support for the veterinarian in our environment, by identifying the severity of frequent anemias and age group in relation to the group of causal diseases.
