Reference intervals are intervals calculated from a group or population of healthy adult animals of a particular species for a specific parameter from the blood and a specific type of test. These are population-based reference intervals. The Pathological Physiology Laboratory has done over 20,000 analyzes in the period 2018-2019, originating from different animal species. More than 1200 samples were obtained from dogs (healthy individuals, preoperative individuals and those who came for diagnosis and therapy). The trial included 60 adult, healthy dogs of different breeds. Each of them was received and examined at a veterinary clinic at the Department of Veterinary Medicine - Faculty of Agriculture, Novi Sad. Blood samples were taken from each dog in two tubes (with EDTA for haematological analyzes and with a clot activator for biochemical analyzes). Descriptive statistics were compiled for all parameters tested. Frequency distributions plots and QQ plots for deviation from normal distribution were plotted. Box-plot showing position value of quartiles and outliers were plotted. The reference ranges for the values tested are consistent with the benchmarks that exist in the world-accepted literature and the recommendations of laboratories dealing with clinical pathology of dogs. A large number of outliers indicate that there may be dogs within the population with significant changes in blood parameters, but they must be interpreted in relation to what we know about the animal, not just based on benchmarks prescribed by the laboratory. In future research, greater coverage of animals should be made, and reference ranges should be considered in terms of race, sex, age, and other animal characteristics.
