The problem presented to studying is actual first of all for the owners of the animals and experts engaged in cultivation of separate breeds of animals. Pets keeping in the conditions of city apartments, the influence of stressful and ecological factors, complete dependence of detention regime of dogs from the way of life of the owner and from that, how the owner is responsible concerning to the animal, are reflected in the condition of an animal. During conducted researches 40 dogs of various age and breeds underwent supervision. The researches were conducted in the conditions of veterinary clinic of the city of Azov of Rostov Region. As a result of carrying out the researches the correlation of incidence of mastitis and endometritis in a bough was established with age. The animals aged from 6 to 10 years were ill most often. In the analysis of the prevalence of the diseases depending on a dog breed came to the conclusion that essential pedigree predisposition to these diseases was not revealed. However, more often with the pathology of reproductive system not purebred animals were registered. At mastitis the mammary gland is increased in a size, hot to the touch, hyperemic, painful, from nipples the secret of gray-yellow color is hardly allocated.

At vaginal research the mucous membrane of the threshold and the vagina is hyperemic, edematous, damp; vaginal part of uterus neck is increased, cervical channel is slightly opened, the release of exudate of white-yellow color with an unpleasant smell is noted. In the analysis of the incidence of mastitis and endometritis in dogs the interrelation was established. At ultrasonic scanning the uterus is visualized well, the walls are thickened, the echogenicity is lowered, endometrium is thickened, a small amount of anechogenic contents. At ultrasonic scanning of inflamed mammary gland the decrease in echogenicity tissues is noted.
