Abstract The morphological, structural and functional particularity of eye fundus is an important elements in diagnostic ophthalmology irrespective of species or examination method. In the present study, a total of 70 canines of 19 different breeds were included. Green-blue was the most common color (18.57%, n=13) followed by yellow-green-blue (17.14%, n=12) green (11.42%, n= 8) and combinations of these colors in rest of animals. The canine ocular fundus showed enormous variations in normal ophthalmoscopic appearance. The present study facilitated a mini ‘memory reference library’ of fundic images in different species in Indian clinical settings advocating ocular funduscopy to be a routine in diagnostic ophthalmic armamentarium.
