A total of 486 clinical records on Kintamani dogs gathered from 2010 to 2014 was used in this study. Among those, the specific cases on TVT diagnostic were observed. The study showed that the prevalence of TVT was catagorised low. Three of Kintamani dogs were diagnosed to have TVT (0.62%). Canine transmissible venereal tumor affected both male and female dogs.
