Abstract: This study aimed to identify the haemato-biochemical changes in dogs suffering from chronic renal failure. A total of 560 dogs with clinical signs and history indicating renal failure were included. Blood and serum samples were collected for haematological and biochemical analysis. All dogs were confirmed to have renal failure based on elevated serum creatinine levels. According to IRIS guidelines, 54.82% of the dogs were in Stage IV, 23.21% in Stage III and 21.96% in Stage II of chronic renal failure. Haematological analysis revealed a significant reduction in haemoglobin, leucocytosis decreased PCV, and a lower platelet count. Biochemical analysis indicated a significant increase in BUN, creatinine, and phosphorus levels, along with decreased protein levels and albumin in the affected dogs compared to healthy control dogs included in the study.
