Some changes in population habits have had an important impact on pet care. A greater approximation of owner-animal is observed, which has made dogs and cats incorporated into the family. In the same way, Veterinary Medicine has been developing in the most different areas, and veterinary oncology has been emphasizing with the new approaches. Neoplasms, in general, exhibit considerable variation in their semiologic, clinical and histological aspects and for these reasons, predictions of tumor behavior and responses to treatment may be extremely difficult and subjective. The fact that the dogs are reaching the greater age has predisposed to the appearance of these diseases with more frequency, being possible the study of these etiologies with more detail. Therefore, this review seeks to deepen questions related to canine geriatrics and the consequences of the greater age of dogs with the appearance of neoplasms. The relevant aspects on the etiology of neoplasms, their main complications and their management will be approached, considering the new therapies adopted today, as well as the observed relationship between the owners and their pets.
