Abstract: A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of different dermatological affections in dogs during the period from July 2017 to June 2018. Out of 987 dog cases reported to the Veterinary Clinical Complex of college of Veterinary and Animal Science, Navania, Udaipur, 205 (20.77%) animals had different dermatological affections. Demodectic mange was the most common dermatological affection followed by Ectoparasite infestation, superficial pyoderma and Dermatomycosis, respectively in decreasing order. Most of the skin affections were observed during rainy season (39.51%) followed by summer season (36.58%) and winter season (23.90%). The dogs of one to three year of age were the most affected (40.62%). Of the dogs with skin affections, 50.73% were males, 40.97% were females, 5.36% were castrated and 2.92 % were spayed. Epidemiological analysis of the dermatological affections data revealed an increasing trend of skin disorders in dogs during the study period which may probably either be due to more awareness among dog owners about the health of their pets or increasing pet population or the environment becoming more favorable for the various etiological agents of skin disorders.
