Abstract

The five mammary gland pairs of dogs are parallel and have a median distribution from the axillary to the inguinal region. Mammary neoplasia is the most common pathology of these glands and is the main cause for radical mastectomy. Double "M" or "V" plasty is described as an alternative technique to improve esthetics and the healing process.
