The aim of the work was to determine the concentration changes of glucose (GL), triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol (CH) in the blood of the adult dogs and to determine the intensity of metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids of various manufacturers under the influence of dry feeding mixture. The research was conducted on 69 clinically healthy adult dogs of different breeds. The dogs according to their breeds and age were divided into analogous groups. The dogs of mixed breeds were used as a control group. The blood samples were taken before feeding the dogs and collected without any anticoagulants. The concentration of (GL) in the blood samples of trial group decreased in German shepherd dogs 34.8 (p0.001), Rottweiler - 1.78 and increased in Boxer - 26.5, Dalmatian and Pinchers - 4.7, (p0.05), in Terriers - 14.8, Collies - 5.5 (p0.05) to compare with the dogs of the control group. The concentration of (TG) in the blood samples of German shepherd dogs was - 37.2, Rottweiler - 36.8, Dalmatian and Collies - 42.2, Terriers - 50.7 (p0.01), Pinchers - 20.3 lower than in the blood samples of the control group. The concentration of (CH) of the blood samples of German shepherd dogs was 4.2 (p0.001), Pinchers -10.4 (p0.05) lower, although Boxer - 11.0, Dalmatian - 4.6 (p0.01), Terriers - 24.5, Rottweilers - 33.9 (p0.001) and Collies - 68.2 (p0.050 was higher to compare with the blood samples concentration of the mixed breeds dogs
