The authors present a study of the dermatologic hipersensibilities distribution in companion animals, by sex, breed and age, based on the dermatologic casuistry of the Veterinary Hospital of Porto. Out of an approached total of 1177 dogs’s consultations, and 388 consultations in cats, 554 were dermatologic consultations in canine species and 109 in feline species. In dogs, 73 cases of hipersensibilities were diagnosed and in cats, 13 cases of cutaneous hipersensibilities were observed. In the canine species, the hipersensibility that obtained larger number of cases was Flea bite hypersensitivity, being followed by the Urticaria and Angioedema, Atopic Dermatitis and, for last, Food Hipersensibility. The feline species consulted in the hospital revealed larger incidence of Atopic Dermatitis, followed by Flea bite hipersensitivity and Food Hipersensibility
