Foram feitas dosagens de alanina aminotransferase (ALT), fosfatase alcalina (FA), amilase, lipase, proteinas totais (PT), albumina, globulinas e colesterol sericos em 60 caes sadios, sendo 17 da raca Pastor Alemao (8 machos, 9 femeas) e 43 sem raca definida (12 machos, 31 femeas), todos da regiao de Santa Maria, RS. Os intervalos de referencia alcancados foram: 5,3 a 19,7 UI (ALT); 8,5 a 60,6 UI (FA); 167 a 1386 U% (amilase); 48,6 a 547 UI (lipase); 5,9 a 8,4g/dl (PT); 2 a 3,6g/dl (albumina); 2,8 a 5,6g/dl (globulinas) e 68,3 a 221,7mg/dl (colesterol). Palavras-chave: valores de referencia, ALT, fosfatase alcalina, amilase, lipase, proteinas totais, albumina, globulinas, colesterol, caes. ABSTRACT Dosages of alanina aminotrasferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), amylase, lipase, total protein (TP), albumin, globulins and cholesterol were realized in the serum of 60 healthy dogs: 17 German Shepherds (8 male, 9 female) and 43 mongrel dogs (12 male, 31 female), all from Santa Maria region. The reference values obtained were: 5.3 to 19.7 IU (ALT); 8.5 to 60.6 IU (ALP); 167 to 1386 U% (amylase); 48.6 to 547 IU (lipase); 5.9 to 8.4g/dl (TP); 2 to 3.6g/dl (albumin); 2.8 to 5.6g/dl (globulins) and 68.3 to 221.7mg/dl (cholesterol). Key Words: Reference values, ALT, ALP, amylase, lipase, total protein, albumin, globulins, cholesterol, dogs.
