dc.description.abstract	Breast tumors are very common in small animals. There is no known cause directly related to this disease but there are some risk factors associated with the breast tumors in animals. Although no clear and consensual they are referred endocrine, genetic, diet and lifestyle factors. Focusing on the endocrine risk factor, a small study was carried out to collect data from owners of female dogs and cats who have suffered from this condition. The main objective of this work was to find out if there is any association between birth control pill administration and the occurrence of malignant / benign breast tumors in identified clinical cases. Surveys were performed in which animal data were collected, the age of the animal, when the disease was diagnosed, if the animal was taking the contraceptive pill, if the diagnosed tumor was of benign or malignant origin, if the owner was informed of the contraindications of this medicine. Older animals have a greater predisposition to mammary tumors in dog and cats (older than 7 years). And generally the owners who administer pills for reproductive control in these animals have no concept of contraindications. It is therefore important that veterinary teams (veterinarian and veterinary nurse) reinforce information actions for animal owners.	pt_PT
