Currently, the anthropomorphized lifestyle of animals contributes to the intense development of obesity. Hyperlipidemia presents itself as one of the deleterious effects of excess weight on the health of dogs, although it has been little investigated. The term hyperlipidemia refers to an increase in the concentration of serum lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides or both). This study aimed to perform a retrospective and statistical analysis on animals that were considered obese by inspecting the body condition score, aiming to correlate obesity with the presence of hyperlipidemia. Seventy blood samples from patients treated at Veterinary Hospital São Judas from October 2018 to October 2020 who had already performed biochemical analyzes at the Hospital were reviewed and analyzed; the information destined to biochemical tests of triglycerides, cholesterol and weight was removed together with the assessment of body condition score (BCS) that was made in clinical consultation. It was found that 24 (34.2%) samples showed results above the reference values for cholesterol and triglycerides. Among these 24 dogs, 21 (87.5%) had BCSequal to 7 or greater, representing overweight and/or obesity. None of the dogs had attended for care for the same reason and there were no complaints from the guardians regarding being overweight, so the changes found in biochemical tests were a clinical laboratory finding. Of the 21 dogs in the group that presented metabolic disorders, 12 dogs (57.2%) had both increased triglyceride and cholesterol levels, and then presenting a hyperlipidemia; 5 (23.8%) dogs had hypercholesterolemia and 4 (19%) had hypertrigliricedemia. These changes when compared to a control group of 19 animals without significant changes, revealed values of statistical significance, suggesting a high frequency of hyperlipidemia in obese dogs, classified as moderately high with clinical importance, with prevalence in females.
