The present study was carried out to assess the prevalence of mast cell tumours in dogs presented at Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, Chennai for five months (July 2024- November 2024). A total of 802 cytological smears prepared each from the nodule of different breeds of dogs were referred to the Centralised Clinical Laboratory, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai for cytological examination. The overall prevalence of mast cell tumour was found to be 2.86 %, of which, females showed a higher prevalence (56.52 %) compared to males (43.47%). Among various age groups affected, an increased prevalence was recorded in dogs belonging to more than six years of age (56.52%), followed by 0-3 years (26.08%) and 4-6 years (17.39%). Non-descript breeds showed the highest prevalence (52.17 %), followed by Labrador Retriever (34.78%), and Golden Retrievers, Boxer and Pug (4.34 % each).
