Abstract: The study was done to find the validity of different planimetric techniques in calculating wound surface area in dogs. Twelve dogs of different ages, breeds and sex brought to the University Veterinary Hospital Kokkalai, and Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Mannuthy, with a full-thickness cutaneous wounds in various locations of the body due to different etiology were the subjects of study. Wound tracing technique and smartphone-based application Imito-measure were employed for the purpose of planimetry. Both methods of planimetry were found to be valid with comparable results.
