Older dogs represent 30-40% of cases in everyday veterinary practice, and this percentage is expected to grow in the future as dogs live longer. The aim of this paper is to examine the variability of the parameters of blood image and metabolic status in older dogs compared to the variability of recognized reference values for dogs. This study involved 50 dogs aged 7 to 16 years (10 healthy individuals and 40 individuals with symptoms of various organ systems but preserved general health). The percentage of individuals whose haematological and biochemical values were out of reference ranges were: 46% for leukocytes, 48% for neutrophils, 10% for lymphocytes, 12% for monocytes, 6% for eosinophils, 22% for erythrocytes, 28% for hemoglobin and hematocrit , 16% for MCV, 18% for MCH, 32% for MCHC, 24% for total proteins, 20% for albumin, 40% for globulin, 50% for urea, 26% for creatinine, 44% for glucose, 28% for total bilirubin, 44% for ALT, 46% for AST and ALP, 26% for alpha amylase, 58% for cholesterol, 28% for calcium and 28% for phosphates. Variability of parameters such as total number of leukocytes, neutrophil count, cholesterol, phosphorus, urea, creatinine and serum enzyme activity was significantly higher in elder dogs compared to the variability of recognized reference values. We will present the results as a comparison of the relative reference ranges and the values obtained in our experiment (reference: obtained in view) for parameters that significantly differ in values: leukocytes (6-17: 13-20.6 ×109 /L); neutrophils (3-11.8: 9.53-16.1 ×109 /L), urea (3.1-9.3: 6.45-17.8 mmol/L), creatinine (35-106: 73 -203 μmol/L), ALT (8.2-57.3: 23-241 IU/L); AST (8.9-48.5: 38.1-122 IU/L); ALP (10.6-100.7: 34-418 IU/L); α-amylase (269-1980: 1100-1760 IU/L); cholesterol (3.6-6.5: 5.85-8.55 mmol/L) and phosphate (0.9-2: 1.34-2.58 mmol/L). These results indicate that a reference value revision must be performed in older dogs.
