Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the prevalence of prostatic disorders in a large population of dogs in Jos, Plateau State. Medical records from 2 major veterinary hospitals were retrieved. A total of 38,201 cases in male dogs were presented to the small animal units of the hospitals from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2016, out of which a total of 2 (0.01%) were found to be prostatic disorders. These prostatic disorders were benign prostatic hyperplasia 1(50%) and prostatic carcinoma 1(50%). The study revealed a prevalence of 0.01% of prostatic disorders observed in intact male dogs of ages 2years and 3years. Based on breeds of dog affected by these disorders, the German shepherd and Mongrel were the predisposing breeds. In conclusion, it is either those prostatic diseases are rare in dogs in Jos or the conditions are misdiagnosed
