In veterinary medicine, dermatology is an area on the rise. It is believed that today, between 15% and 25% of visits performed in veterinary clinics and hospitals for small animals are directly related to skin problems. Therefore, it is necessary that the clinician is able to identify conditions of this order and the knowledge of the nonneoplastic skin diseases most frequent assists in directing the diagnosis and institution of appropriate therapeutic plan. This study aimed to evaluate data collect from non-neoplastic dermatopathies of dogs referred to the Federal University of Mato Grosso Veterinary Teaching Hospital, from April to December 2011. During this period, skin biopsies were performed in 112 dermatological cases that matched the inclusion criteria. In 93.7% of the cases, diagnosis was established by histopathology along with another complementary diagnostic method (mycology, bacteriology, parasitology, cytology, serology, trichogram, molecular and others), which allowed classifying the dermatophaties into the following groups: parasitic, immunological, bacterial, fungal, endocrine, hereditary, psychogenic diseases, acquire diseases, and disturbance of keratinization. The skin diseases that could not be classified in any of these groups were designated as "other skin diseases." Overall, the top five nonneoplastic skin diseases, in descending order of frequency, were: demodicosis (20.9%), visceral leishmaniasis (12.4%), atopic dermatitis (10.5%), dermatophytosis (10.5%) and disseminated superficial pyoderma (8.6%). Together, these five conditions made up just over half of all skin diseases of dogs diagnosed in this study
