Adrenal tumors in dogs are common in small animal practice and may be divided according to their origin into cortical and medullary, as the most common being adrenocortical carcinomas and adenomas, also pheochromocytomas. Breeds as Poodle, Boxer, Dachshund and Beagle over 9 years old show more risks of developing adrenal neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible epidemiological risks for the development of adrenal tumors in ten dogs treated at the Hospital de Clínicas Veterinárias of Universidade Federal de Pelotas (HCV/UFPel) between 2018 and 2023. Factors such as age, gender, breed, reproductive status, weight, living with other animals and comorbidities were listed for descriptive assessment. All dogs had clinical signs and ultrasound features compatible with adrenal tumors. In addition, they were all female, with mean weight of 16.4 kg, age of 11 years old and most of them had defined breed and were neutered. Thus, the profile of the dog affected by adrenal tumor was determined as female, breed defined, neutered, small to medium size and aged between 9 and 16 years.
