The aim of this study is to quantify and describe, through scientometrics, data on studies related to intestinal dysbiosis in dogs. For this purpose, articles published between 2011 and 2023 were selected using the Web of Science database. Through an active search, 137 articles were screened, of which 82 were included in this study, selected based on title and abstract evaluation. Data were collected on the number of articles published by date, number of authors, citations per author, and the countries with the highest number of publications. Data processing was conducted using R Studio software and the Bibliometrix package, ensuring greater specificity in the analyses. The results show that the year 2020 presented the highest peak of published studies, with 13 articles. It was also observed that the most cited author published 41 of the 82 selected articles, and that the United States is responsible for the largest number of publications. Through this study, it was possible to conclude that countries with greater technological resources directly impact the scientific dissemination of information on the proposed topic.
