The objective was to determine signalment-related differences in bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in dogs. Unilateral appendicular bones were harvested from 62 canine cadavers. Mid-diaphyseal regions of interest (ROIs) were scanned using a Hologic DXA device Braincon, Vienna, Austria). BMC and BMD were calculated within this region. Middle-aged dogs (3-10 years) revealed the highest BMC and BMD levels. Mean BMC and BMD were higher in males compared to females. Furthermore, body-weight of the male dogs was significantly higher compared to the females (P < 0.0001). Body weight and bone length were significantly associated with BMC and BMD (P < or = 0.023) in all bones but the radius. These data suggest that BMC and BMD appear to be highest in male large-breed dogs with a body weight greater than 30 kg. These results may help determine risk factors in fracture development and healing.
