Description Mammary neoplasms, are the second most common canine cancer type that pose a significant health concern for the dogs. This research explores the prevalence and identifies various risk factors associated with their occurrence. Among 45 confirmed cases, mammary tumors were most common in dogs aged 8 to 12 years. Female dogs were more susceptible, attributed to estrogen's effect on mammary glands. The highest occurrence of mammary tumors was identified in Labrador Retrievers and Crossbred dogs. The highest incidence of CMTs was noted in the inguinal mammary gland. Following this, the caudal abdominal gland, cranial thoracic mammary gland, while the caudal thoracic glands accounted the least number of cases. In the current study, there was higher incidence of neoplasms in underweight dogs and in owned dogs reared in outdoors. This study provides insights into the epidemiology of mammary tumors in dogs, with respect to  age, gender, breed, environmental exposures, and dietary practices as significant.
